Learn another communication language, including math
Professor Prathamosh AP of IISc Bangalore has advocated for everyone to learn two languages. Expressing his views in the ‘Ground Truth’ podcast, he said that two languages should be learned, one of which is mathematics and the other can be any conversational language. He said that language shapes any student’s ability to think and communicate in life.
Mathematics helps you think logically
IISc Bangalore professor Prathamosh AP said that languages like Hindi and English help in communicating with the world. Through these languages we tell stories, express our opinions and communicate the importance of our work.
Whereas mathematics is a language that helps us think accurately, reason logically and understand the world deeply. He says that students should have the ability to think clearly. Although they also consider communication important, they say they must also have the ability to convey their ideas to others.
He says that the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become important nowadays. AI can help in writing, coding and analyzing information. Students must identify meaningful problems, reason about possible solutions, and explain their ideas clearly. For this it is necessary to learn mathematics as a language.
