In a daily life very often we faced the question - "why do we need mathematics", or we listen "I don't like mathematics" expression.
For sure the mathematical thinking is very important and it improves the analytical thinking, even-though on mathematics is based all the new technologies. Off course this is obvious for us - mathematicians, but how we can show it to all non-mathematicians?
I would like to give you an example, which I used in my pedagogical practice. It works very well and brings very good results.

Suppose that we have an airplane, which is flying with one of the principles presenting below:
- 1<2,
- Everyone love hard rock,
- Apple is a delicious fruit.
By what principle from these three will be more safe to fly, what do you think?
By 2nd? Everyone love hard rock? No. What about third principle? Off course not for everybody an apple is a delicious. If we have even one "no" answer for this principles it will be unsafe to fly by these airplanes.
What about 1st, 1<2? It is always true and it will be safe to fly by this airplane.
This is a very good example for showing the exactness of Mathematics.
Below you can tell what experience you have in this field.
