    This document contains a student's responses to questions about mathematics. The student discusses several key ideas: 1) They learned that mathematics can help understand the world, solve real-world problems, and reveal truths about the universe. Mathematics is also more vast than originally thought. 2) Seeing mathematics applied in daily life and solving problems through trial and error changed their view of the subject. 3) The greatest contribution of mathematics is its ability to abstract problems and develop methodologies to solve them, making it a useful tool for dealing with complexity and reality throughout human history and life.

    A.Short-response/Essay writing:

    1) What new ideas about mathematics did you learn?

    By studying mathematics, I learned new ideas like, Mathematics can


    help us to better understand and describe the world around us. Applying
    mathematics to real world problems makes solving fun. And of course, I
    learned that mathematics enabled mankind to understand and discover
    the real truth behind the world and the universe. And another thing I’ve
    learned by watching the video in youtube is just how vast the subject is.
    It surprised me that a mathematician working in one area might not
    have a clue about another mathematician’s field of study. I thought of
    math as being one homogeneous thing, but it certainly not.

    2) What is it about mathematics that might have changed your thoughts


    about it?

    It is thrill and skill that changed my thought about it. We may not be
    aware of it, but we have already been using mathematics in our daily
    lives. We have used it on work, our homes and many more places.
    Because everywhere there is mathematics. Mathematics makes our life
    accurate and yet we expect some misunderstanding. I think what math
    really does to those who learn and apply them is having the ability to
    solve problems, sometimes using pattern but most of the time through
    trial and error. The competencies learned in mathematics subjects are
    applicable in real life situations

    3) What is most useful about mathematics for humankind?

    I think the greatest contribution of mathematics to humankind is that it’s


    beautiful, it has spiritual significance about the nature of things. Mathematics
    is useful because it’s powerful. What enables math to powerful is abstraction.
    There is so many problems in our world that must be solved, but most of them
    are fairy similar. We can abstract these problems, and then use mathematics
    to solve the abstraction. The most useful about mathematics is not a thing. It
    is the diversity of its theory and the methodologies we can use in order to solve
    our problems is what make mathematics useful. And another thing is men
    have always used math throughout history, from counting, creating calendars
    by counting dates and nights to creating the structures that stand to this day.
    Human society is married to the subject of math, because it teaches us to deal
    with reality especially counting. From the moment you count the number of
    fingers you have when you were 2 or 3 years old, to the day you carefully divide
    the inheritance for your children, it will stay with us for the rest of our life. So
    mathematics is most useful by just being a tool, to make our complicated lives
    to easier.
