Mathematics is not just numbers, it is about patterns, too! So jobs like fashion and interior design benefit from math skills.

Mathematics is also useful in everyday life:

• Investing money (interest rates, profits, etc)

• Estimating costs

• Shopping (is it really a bargain?)

• Understanding Computers

• Designing rooms and gardens

• Planning trips

Mathematics also improves our mental ability as it teaches us logical ways of thinking.

And anyway, it is just plain fun: what other subject is about solving puzzles?
