MATHEMATICSBy the Ahmadiyya Muslim Womens’ Student
Association
Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in fields such as Natural Science, Engineering, Medicine and many more. It is an exact language for description, calculation, deduction, modelling, and prediction. Mathematics is a language for writing contracts with Nature that Nature accepts as legally binding. Mathematically educated people are stem cells of a technologically advanced society.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Studying Mathematics is hard but very rewarding!
Go to open days where possible! Keep in mind that mathematics is an area of
study with its own language, if you gain proficiency and are able to speak it you will most probably have mastered half of your course

SOME HELPFUL WEBSITES!
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ This website gives very brief definitions and descriptions on most keywords and theorems in maths. Therefore it is a very useful site when studying science. This site uses very specialized notation and descriptions. Keep that in mind but do not shy away from using it just because of that, rather learn to understand the language.
http://arxiv.org/A website to read a large range of preprint scientific papers, which includes all areas of science as well as mathematical papers relating to research currently being carried out. A very useful website for those intending to go into the field of research. http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/A website concerning the history of maths and biographies of mathematician. It also has a separate section for female mathematicians.
