‘We’ve everything to gain from math’

She Jia: Reframe your thoughts to see mathematics as another way to define the world around you.

OUR lives are filled with numbers.

While there may be some who are uncomfortable with its firm governance in our world, perceiving it as a tedious subject, we cannot deny that it has been a reliable compass in navigating us through our daily lives with its many applications.
