This is something that people with higher education should have a deep understanding and experience. There are also many examples in the history of human science. Maxwell, the father of electromagnetic theory, predicted the existence and characteristics of electromagnetic waves through mathematical equations and created a new era of science.

4. Learning mathematics can help us understand and learn the scientific and rigorous scientific attitude and style embodied in mathematicians, and improve our scientific literacy.
