So it is just mathematics right? 
Some people do not like mathematics because of the many theories and formulas one has to remember and the tedious calculations one must do to solve mathematical problems. But without mathematics, business has no direction, science is useless, and no invention can be made. Effectively, technology can not advance without mathematics be it simple or advance. Now, let’s have a look at what the Applied Mathematics discipline is (or do we have to say it’s a specific discipline?).

Applied Mathematics is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on using mathematical methods and models to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business, and other areas. It extends beyond theoretical mathematics by applying mathematical techniques to practical issues, making it highly relevant in various sectors. In many developing countries like Papua New Guinea, there is a misunderstanding that applied mathematics is solely about abstract theories and complex equations. However, modern applied mathematics involves significant computational work and programming skills. Students learn to use software tools and write code to analyze data, simulate scenarios, and develop algorithms, making them proficient in both mathematics and computer science. This combination of skills is crucial for addressing complex challenges in today’s technology-driven world, enhancing economic development, and fostering innovation across multiple industries. By studying applied mathematics, students can become versatile problem solvers and contribute to the country’s progress and global standing.
