Exercising the Brian through math

Math enhances your logic skills and exercises that part of your brain. So now when you have an issue in your life that doesn't involve numbers, you will understand how to make your own formulas and solve the issues.  I truly believe that the problem solving skills that in every subject area throughout my university career can be related back to trying to figure out how to do math.  It's not just the use of numbers that is important in math.  It does exercise the part of the brain that tries to 'figure things out'.  Just like the other side of the brain is creative and used in art classes.  The same principle applies.   For any students starting in the early stages of math, these skills can be transferred into other subjects.  For example,  problem solving skills can help develop and solve hypotheses in science, and the list goes on.
