Today I heard this from my lecturer ...
"Are you sure you love mathematics?" ...
For people who good in math sure say yes ...
Why?
Because mathematics just all about numbers?
Mathematics teach in secondary and university is not quite similar ...
Usually the secondary math textbook is numbers more than words ...
Whereas university math textbook is words more than numbers ...
In secondary, we usually given formula to calculate answer ...
But in university, formula need to derive and answer calculated from your formula ...
Hence words appear on textbook are to explain how formula is derive ...
And numbers represented by symbol ...
You will hardly find a page that majority is numbers in a university maths textbook ...
So this is what mathematics is ...
Lastly, I ask you again ...
Love numbers or mathematics?
