"I've always Hated Mathematics Until I Found Out This Secret" - ( #FutariansDiary) (Episode 1) - FutaNewsandGist

Every week, FutaNewsandGist seeks to interact with random FUTA Students and ask for their permission to share their stories on the blog. Some stories will be hilarious, some are life-changing, others are awkward while the reset fall in between.

The subject of this week’s #FutariansDiary Story is at loggerheads with the one course he's studying only to find out something extra-ordinary later. Checkout our interview with him below

Wait, before we start, why does Mathematics have so many Enemies?

You know prior before I got admitted to the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), I thought I was the only one who hated Maths.

So one day when I was venting my frustration, I got to meet more people who were in the same shoe.

I think the reason why most students hate Maths is simply because of its "difficulty in understanding" and more "time-demanding"

But Mathematics is not the only Difficult Subject even in High School?

Actually Mathematics is very cunny. When we're talking about it, we're referring to Calculations, Formulas and Equations.

And if you check other courses too (either in FUTA or other schools), you'll find Mathematics disguising itself in the name of another course.

Did You Choose To Study Mathematics in FUTA or you were given?

It's kind of Complicated.

Complicated as how?

Let's just say - Mathematics Choose Me (winks)

Oh really.. So Are you still in enmity with Mathematics

That was then.

Now, am in Tranquil with the course although am still trying my best to understand it

Wait, you mean you no longer hate Maths

Yes, i don't

How did you do it? Like can you tell us when you changed

It actually kind of just happened.

You know, I found out in my latter years that I've kind of changed. We all know how we got here and we can tell when something changed in us.

Changed as How? Can you explain

Before, when confronted with a difficult situation, I only "merely" look at the situation hence solution always take time to find.

But now i can "critically" look at a company, product, software, or even sometimes life and deduce solution for loopholes.

Can every or only Mathematics Student Do That?

Almost but not all students.

Problem solving skill is actually a skill every Students can learn irregardless of their course. It all depends on willingness of the individual.

But i think (am not saying it is entirely true) that being a Mathematics student has an upper advantage (winks)
