Few days ago, I was watching some videos of quantum physics and string theory. I used to partially hate physics during 11th- 12th standards. Mechanical physics in theory part was tough for me but I like practicals of the same. On the other hand, I literally hate electronics and circuit practicals but I enjoyed learning this part in theory. This is when I had an idea of correlation between science and maths.

           Mathematics is subject which we might describe as nightmare of almost 80% students in school years. As grades proceeds degree of rivalry with maths increases. Quadratic equations comes into picture to worsen the situation in our school academic graph. People who opt for arts or commerce faculties gets kind of relieved to get rid of maths. Something must be done to change the situation.

            Many argue that apart from BODMAS calculations, maths syllabus nothing from maths book is not applicable in day to day life. Its partially true though. But in really, whatever we learn in maths till 10th is really important if one is planning to continue his studies in science stream. Let me try to explain above statement.

               When it start leaning about light ware, trigonometry came into picture. Chemistry is full of conversions of micro grams and milligrams conversion stuff. In biology, estimating of different bio molecules done with micro grams conversion. Derivatives and integration  were introduced during  11th standard and I remember studding it for both chapters for a months.

                When 12th began, gravity chapter of physics , I started connecting maths and physics for first time. Physics concepts requires to be proved theoretically and to express the invention on paper various maths concept are used. It is like language through which theoretical physics is evolved.

                 Each language has it's own beauty. Maths is not exception to it. Some calculations has ability to blow our minds. Maths has own script too like other languages. One might spot different Greek alphabets in equations. Maths also has dielets like integration derivatives Calculus . Then where things starts going wrongwrong ? 

                Teaching method is major drawbacks here. We are never taught maths as a language. It's always a subject and we never learn to spot beauty of it. Plus it is always coupled with intelligence and it is assumed that student who is not good at maths is dumb This stereotype leads to develope enimity to maths. So what can be done? 

              We require really good, qualified and sensitive teachers. They should encourage students to develop friendship with maths and explore more things related to subject like our language and literature teacher do. This will intial step to increase interest of students in fundamental science.If this happens we won't be away from having students who are genuinely passionate about science and fundamental research in our country.
