Mathematics is a universal part of human culture. Its universality makes it a powerful tool in a variety of endeavors including the study of the natural sciences, the social sciences, computer science, business, and economics. Studied for its own sake, mathematics is appreciated as much for its elegance and beauty as for its practicality. Mathematics is the science of discovering patterns yet unlike the other sciences mathematics offers a standard of certainty through mathematical rigor and proof. The study of mathematics is one of the cornerstones of a liberal education, training the mind in logical thought, precise expression, and critical thinking.
