Learning and appreciating mathematics can help us appreciate things that we might not otherwise notice about the world.<\/p>\n<p>Studying mathematics helps us think analytically and have better reasoning abilities.\u00a0 Analytical thinking refers to the ability to think critically about the world around us. Reasoning is our ability to think logically about a situation. Analytical and reasoning skills are important because they help us solve problems and look for solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Such problem-solving is more applicable to our lives than one might think. Studying mathematics is not just about solving textbook tasks; it is about sharpening one\u2019s skills to frame problems that exist in real life, identifying the knowns and unknowns, refining one\u2019s strategies, and making progress toward a solution. It is through this process that we can begin to make sense about the world in which we live.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"prpl-band white no-margin\"><div class=\"text-content\">\n<h2 id=\"research\">Research<\/h2>\n<p>Faculty in the Mathematics Department are involved in a broad range of research in the areas of pure mathematics and math education.
