INTRODUCTION

Education should be started with Mathematics. For it forms well designed brains that are able to reason right. It is even admitted that those who have studied Mathematics during their Younger days should be trusted, for they have acquired solid bases for arguing which become to them a sort of second nature. (Ibn Khaldun, al-Muqaddima born in 1332,Tunis)

It is sometimes difficult for students to appreciate the importance of Mathematics. They often find the subject boring and hard to understand. Mathematics is not just a subject on your timetable but a tool we use in everyday life. Math is everywhere and yet, we may not recognize it because it doesn't look like the math we did in school. But math is present in our world all the time in the workplace, in our homes, and in life in general.

Mathematics is the only language shared by all human beings regardless of culture, religion, or gender. Pi is still approximately 3.14159 regardless of what country you are in. Adding up the cost of a basket full of groceries involves the same math process regardless of whether the total is expressed in dollars, rubles, or yen. It is what links ancient scholars and medieval merchants, astronauts and artists, peasants and presidents

Percentages are used in our everyday life and we may not even realize it !!
