Mathematics is the most powerful tool we have. It controls our world. We can use it to
put men on the moon. We use it to calculate how much insulin a diabetic should take. It
is hard to get right.
And yet. And yet . . . And yet people who use or like mathematics are considered geeks
or nerds.1 And yet mathematics is considered useless by most people – throughout history
children at school have whined ‘When am I ever going to use this?’
Whywould anyone want to become a mathematician?As mentioned earlier mathematics
is a very powerful tool. Jobs that use mathematics are often well-paid and people do tend
to be impressed. There are a number of responses from non-mathematicians when meeting
a mathematician, the most common being ‘I hated maths at school. I wasn’t any good at
it’, but another common response is ‘You must be really clever.’
