Maths is the study of patterns abstracted from the world around us - so anything we learn in maths has literally thousands of applications, in arts, sciences, health and leisure!
Professor Ruth Lawrence
Mathematics is not just a collection of skills, it is a way of thinking. It lies at the core of scientific understanding, and of rational and logical argument.
Dr Colin Sparrow
Maths is the truly global language. With it we convey ideas to each other that words can't handle - and bypass our spoken Tower of Babel.
Professor Alison Wolf
If you want to take part in tomorrow's world, you'll need mathematics and statistics just as much as grammar and syntax.
