Don’t fear the numbers.

Maths anxiety has been a long-standing issue, with German physicist Felix Auerbach addressing it in his book "The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It" a century ago. Auerbach argues that the fear of maths stems from a misunderstanding of what mathematics truly is. He believes that maths is not just about calculations, but also a science, a language, and an art. By emphasizing the beauty and universality of mathematics, Auerbach suggests that people can overcome their fear and appreciate the subject. This issue remains relevant today, and it is important to shift the perception of maths from dread to awe. [Extracted from the article]
