There's a lot more to mathematics than what people think. For starters, it surrounds us, meaning that a understanding of it will always be needed. At school, I was always good at math and found it to be a challenging subject that mentally woke me up. I was also attracted to it by the long list of possible careers available to you if you have a math degree. Potential fields include; statistics, calculus, and teaching. I firmly believe that having this qualification under my belt is something that will make me stand out from other prospective applicants when applying for a job. I enjoy helping others, since I know mathematics is an important part of our daily life in solving problems and thinking logically.
