Mathematics is the language God used in His creation of the universe, and thus is logical,

orderly, beautiful, and very practical in science and in daily life. No subject matter better

reflects the glory of God than mathematics. To study mathematics is to study God’s thoughts

after Him, for He is the great Engineer and Architect of the universe.

Students find exactness, preciseness, and completeness in mathematics, just as is expected

in God’s world. Mathematics expects students to learn and remember necessary facts, as it

requires the stretching of the mind, constant thinking and remembering.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,

as to the Lord, and not unto men.

Col. 3:23
