Do you like Math? Or are you one of those who dread the thought of Geometry, Trigonometry, or even just the basic term we are engaging with since gradeschool, the "MDAS" (Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
I'm not one of the Math geeks who join quiz bees or those who can answer even the most difficult problem that seems impossible to be solved. But definitely, I'm also not adding myself to the population of Math haters. I do, like Mathematics. Back in first year college, I remember looking at our curriculum, and hoping for any Math course, I saw Statistics and Business Math on the list.
Many of us, even once in our lives, especially when we were struggling on those x's and y's in our highschool Algebra, did wonder what's the use of memorizing all those formulas when in fact, we don't use x's and y's in paying bills, in buying food or even in counting 1, 2, 3. It is always important that when you take a course subject, you should know its purpose, for you to appreciate it and be encouraged to learn it.
First meeting was finding out that our Professor would be Sir Crisencio Paner (who was also my Statistics professor two years back). The class seemed adjusting to the new environment (new block) but it's really more of familiarizing ourselves to the new subject. Google said, "Business Math is mathematics used by commercial enterprises to record and manage business operations." Wow, sounds cool yet complicated.
Sir Paner talked about several terms and formulas we need in the subject. I'm glad I have notes (from that lecture) written on my notebook that will be useful to read when test comes. But that's not the point. What I really earned here is the knowledge. Sir Paner taught us the important basics in Business Math, things concerning profit and loss, inspiring thoughts in handling business, importance of blogging and many more. I've learned a lot in just one meeting. I'm really grateful I get to know and realize how useful this course is especially that having a business is one of my future goals. I am really lovin' Math even more. So getting to know the importance of Business Math? I guess no one can even enumerate all the reasons why Business Math's a big help to one's success.
P.S. Here's a glimpse of our previous meeting. Friends and I with our "OMG-it's-Math!" faces.
Till my next blog post!
