An Austin, Texas resident, Dr. Hind Louali, holds a doctor of medicine. Dr. Hind Louali is the founder, administrator and supervisor of Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Because of her medical and mathematical background, she added more math hours and classes to the curriculum at the school as she believes they are highly beneficial.

Math is a subject that is highly applicable in real-life and can help people in a wide range of situations. A study and research conducted by a member of Stanford University, Dr. Tanya Evans, suggests that people who know math can activate and use certain brain regions with better efficiency than those who don’t know. Also, in those certain brain regions, people who understand math have more gray matter and benefit from enhanced decision-making and attentional processes.

Math is also bound to help people with finances as people can understand better how much they consume and how much they have. In this way, they can prevent going into debt. Additionally, math helps people in many industries; for example, a person who doesn’t know math can have trouble working at a cash register or even cooking. Math is also used in manufacturing companies as employees need to understand and do mental arithmetic to track parts in the assembly line and create good products.
