4. THE PRINCIPLE OF
LEARNING
MATHEMATICS
• Learning mathematics fosters the development of
logical analysis, problem-solving abilities, creativity,
and the capacity for abstract thought. It employs a
universal language of numbers and symbols that
enables clear, concise, and rigorous communication
of concepts.
