As a mathematician, our professor believes (and lectures us) that you can find comfort in numbers and a sense of great achievement in solving mathematical equations.

Pythagoras, Archimedes, Issac Newton, Pierre de Fermat and Srinivasa Ramanujam  are some of the greatest mathematicians of the past whose works every high school student study in their curriculum.

There are two broad categories of mathematicians: ‘applied mathematicians’ are those mathematicians who deal with everyday mathematical problems and find jobs in industries and engineering establishments, and ‘pure mathematicians’ are those mathematicians who analyse and solve the theory and concepts of mathematics which may not be related to the everyday problems but are more important for the development of the science of numbers itself.
