Maths Phobia

 It would not be wrong to say that, among most people, there exists a kind of fear associated with the subject of mathematics. In the field of education, there is perhaps no phobia greater than math phobia. Who knows why the subject that is closest to our daily life is the very one we fear the most. The moment the name “mathematics” is mentioned, students begin to break into a sweat.

Anyway, this phobia has existed among humans for a very long time, and it would not be wrong to say that, psychologically, it has become dominant in human DNA. Everyone panics as soon as its name is heard, while the mathematics book stands smiling in some corner, as if saying, “Look at me—my condition is still the same as it was when I was first created, because students are afraid even to touch me.”

I am just like a newlywed bride.

The books of other subjects weep over their condition, because they have been used so ruthlessly that their pages are dirty, worn out, and often no longer even in their proper place.

But I would like to say to students that the level of progress science has achieved today would not have been possible without mathematics.

If we look only at the examples around us, we can understand this easily. If mathematics did not exist, how would we measure time, months, and years? How would we estimate distances? It is another matter that today, even while being close, we are miles apart.

How would we understand weight? And the most interesting thing—how would we count how many people live in a house?

There are many concepts and theorems that would remain incomplete without mathematics. Just as today, if mobile networks stop working, we feel incomplete—confused and helpless.

Therefore, in today’s era, so that we do not remain worried or troubled, we should befriend mathematics. Understand this: if you accept mathematics as your own, it will become your friend; otherwise, it will remain a phobia.

So come, let us drive away the fear of mathematics and connect with my blog, which will make mathematics your friend.

Okay… stay happy.
