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
A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Mathematics
A marveilous newtrality have these things mathematicall and also a strange participation between things supernaturall, imortall, intellectuall, simple and indivisible, and things naturall, mortall, sensible, compounded and divisible.

Mathematics
Think of it: of the infinity of real numbers, those that are most important to mathematics—0, 1, √2, e and π—are located within less than four units on the number line. A remarkable coincidence? A mere detail in the Creator's grand design? I let the reader decide.
