Do you know where the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…) is found in God’s creation?
Demonstrating a working knowledge of math does more than wow your friends. As one of the oldest sciences, math can be used to solve puzzles, calculate percentages, and increase problem-solving skills in many fields ranging from engineering and finance to science. Most importantly, math teaches us about the character of God—His wisdom, infinity, order, and glory, and it helps us accomplish the work God has called us to do.
A minor in math can bolster your competitiveness and preparation for future jobs and graduate work.
