By studying mathematics, students develop knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematical concepts and their use within the classroom and beyond.
Mathematics is a vital foundation in the development of knowledge in many other areas of learning, particular in STEM. To attain mastery in many professions and careers, a strong background in mathematics is essential. From a societal perspective, having a good grasp of maths is also important for everyday living skills.
Choosing a mathematics subject provides students with a sound foundation for students’ future choices in tertiary education as well as everyday life.
