The importance of mathematics is not only crucial for scientists or engineers, but it essential for every person. It empowers people have a better way of understanding or interpreting information. Mathematics plays an effective role in developing skills such as analyzing data, seeking evidence, recognizing patterns every day, etc.
Mathematics prepare students for the reality, to become great problem solvers and decision makers with logical thinking skills.
Likewise, all developed countries, The Sultanate of Oman is aware of the importance of mathematics and its role in sustainable development. In 2011, Oman Mathematics Committee (OMC) was formed by a decision of the Council of Ministers. OMC ever since worked on encouraging the scientific and educational movement in the field of mathematics within the Oman. In addition, OMC focused on strengthening the association with relevant international committees and associations - especially the International Mathematics Union (IMU). In 2018, OMC submitted an elaborate report to the IMU upon which The Sultanate of Oman became a full member of the IMU.
