Pure Mathematics

Mathematics is one of the oldest and most universal means of creating, communicating, connecting
and applying structural and quantitative ideas. The discipline of Mathematics allows the formulation
and solution of real-world problems as well as the creation of new mathematical ideas, both as an
intellectual end in itself, as well as a means to increase the success and generality of mathematical
applications. This success can be measured by the quantum leap that occurs in the progress made in
other traditional disciplines once mathematics is introduced to describe and analyse the problems
studied. It is therefore essential that as many persons as possible be taught not only to be able to
use mathematics, but also to understand it.
