Matematyka test

1. Do you enjoy solving abstract problems and thinking in logical, structured ways?

2. Are you curious about why things work, wanting rigorous proofs rather than just answers?

3. Do you enjoy recognizing patterns and generalizing from examples?

4. Are you interested in using mathematics to model real-world phenomena (physics, economics, biology)?

5. Do you enjoy programming or using computational tools to explore mathematical ideas?

6. Are you motivated by precision, correctness, and careful reasoning even when it’s challenging?

7. Do you enjoy learning new abstract frameworks (e.g., algebra, topology, analysis) and seeing their connections?

8. Are you comfortable working independently on tough problems and persisting through setbacks?

9. Are you interested in communicating mathematical ideas clearly to others (teaching, explaining, writing)?

10. Do you enjoy discovering elegant solutions or proofs that simplify complex problems?

Definitions and quotes

Mathematics
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning") is the study of such topics as quantity, structure, space, and change. It has no generally accepted definition.
Mathematics
Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. "Immortality" may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean.

Mathematics
Mathematical development in England was at a low ebb in the early decades of the nineteenth century, with Cambridge stagnating in the shadow of Newton, who had produced his mathematics nearly a century and a half earlier. This dead hand of tradition, which stifled much initiative and originality, was in sharp contrast to the situation in France.

Mathematics
Mathematics is a versatile art; it can be applied to widely different purposes. Math has no morality; it does not care what it counts or what it proves.
