Discuss your view on the value of taking mathematics classes.

I think that taking math classes is wonderful. Math is that one subject that you can always have a solution, or a logical process to get to some sort of conclusion. It is very black and white, right or wrong, and that is what I enjoy most. It teaches you to follow a process to an answer, and it is the basis for many engineering concepts, which is a benefit. I think that math is invaluable! I couldn't imagine not having to take math, I would be lost without it.

===========================================================================

I believe that mathematics courses are the most valuable classes one can take. I think this because although at times relating the content learned in a math class to real life can be hard, the stimulus learning math gives your brain can't be beat. Math, in my opinion, is one of the best ways to develop and expand the brain, and there are so many different things one can do with math skills. I very much enjoy taking math classes, and the challenges they present, because there is always something to learn.
