Regardless of whether we are aware of it or not, mathematics is involved in our daily activities. It comes in various forms ranging from simple and routine to complex and sophisticated. Our knowledge of mathematics is utilized by us to solve everyday problems. Humans have used mathematics since the primitive era when they were engaged in animal husbandry and food gathering activities. During that time, they relied on the relationship between their livestock and stones to mark the number of their animals.

If we observe closely, even traditional market traders utilize mathematics in their operation. They are skilled and quick to calculate buyers' change and purchase amounts. Mathematics has been implemented in many fields, such as design, computer, accounting, and so on. In fact, mathematicians nowadays have been developing the mathematics study with an aim to improve it. This shows that mathematics plays a crucial role in various fields.

The advancement in mathematics affects the development of technology and knowledge, culture, and human life from the past until today and the future. Understanding and mastering mathematical concepts are needed to comprehend and develop other sciences and fields of studies. Therefore, numerous subjects incorporate mathematical concepts as part of their syllabus.

Compared to other countries, our nation still lags in science and technology. It is due to a lack of awareness about the importance of applying and understanding mathematical concepts in other fields. The lack of interest from students towards mathematics affects the quality of the students' understanding and implementation of mathematical concepts. The low interest among students in mathematics is caused by a commonly known perception that mathematics is difficult and complicated. Consequently, when learning mathematics, students tend to struggle, and these difficulties result in their inability to understand the core concepts of mathematics.

To improve the interest of students in mathematics, several measures can be taken. Such measures include replacing negative perceptions of mathematics with positive ones and instilling them in the thoughts of students. Another way is to provide tutoring and guidance to students regarding complex mathematical concepts, connecting mathematical concepts with real-life problems, and more.

Mathematics is a generative, active, and dynamic process that humans have utilized to solve problems. From simple to complex issues, mathematics is involved in all of them. This is in line with the statement that mathematics is a human activity, meaning that humans always involve mathematics in their daily lives.
