A short definition of Mathematics would be “the study of quantities and how they are measured, combined, related, and operated upon”


We use mathematics for practical things like organising the arrival of materials on a building site in order to reduce storage; encrypting and decrypting internet messages; modelling blood flow through a damaged heart; and predicting the break-up of ice floes.


These are all mathematics in action – mathematics making a real difference in the world where we live. Mathematics looks at the distribution of prime numbers, the properties of geometric figures, how dependent variables change, and what happens when you add up infinitely many terms.


Studying these ideas lays the foundation for using mathematics to solve real-life problems.
