Why do we study math?
Because it's all around us. Babies do math. It's intrinsic in us. Remember when you recognized mom and dad as separate people? You
counted them as two distinct identities. Counting and grouping is the foundation of mathematics. Cave men became more civilized once they
were able to actually count and record those counts.
How should I learn math?
Math is like a language. You need to learn its unique ways and behaviors to speak and write math fluently. You can't play an instrument or
speak a foreign language without first practicing and then applying it to real situations. However, it's not all about practice and drills. You can only like and absorb math if you understand why and how it behaves the way it does.
