The Importance of Mathematics
Mathematics doesn’t enjoy popularity among students or the general population. I remember myself at school straining to grasp anything from a blackboard full of formulae at school. My then-teacher used the typical theoretical approach in her lessons which didn’t help me form an interest in the subject. For instance, learning off by heart memorizing the definition of a derivative and a limit by heart is not the best way to make the subject appealing to a 13-14 year old classroom full of thirteen to fourteen year-olds and her words went straight into one ear and out the other at the best of times. However, my lack of interest came to an end when I attended college and started to apply these abstract concepts to specific and real contexts – a differential equation is not that so bad if you realize that these symbols can explain how the market fluctuates or why Cristiano Ronaldo’s failed to score a free kick.Great job! Note, the phrase "it is said..." is a commonly used idiom, and therefore, the contraction "it's" is not used here. Second, in English (at least in America), the term "college" is more often used to refer to post-secondary education after high school. The term "university"is usually used to refer to the institution as a whole. Here, saying that you "attended college" would be more appropriate. Third, you can also use the more informal word "formulas" instead of formulae. I've rarely seen the latter used. Buen trabajo!
