Mathematics is perhaps the most important basic science today. It is a powerful and indispensable tool in every phase of science and engineering. The world of business and finance could not survive without it. From law and medicine to the fine arts from atomic physics to shopping at the supermarket mathematics plays an essential role in our daily lives. Many people never get farther than grade-school mathematics simply because they become bogged down in the elementary arithmetic operations. For them mathematics is something mysterious and beyond understanding. They read about electronic computers performing complicated arithmetic operations at speeds measured in microseconds a microsecond is a millionth part of a second and wonder why it is still important to know how to perform these operations themselves. The reason is obvious. For most people in their offices shops classrooms stores or homes use of such electronic brains is impractical or impossible.
