Abstract

This paper highlights the universal importance and application of Mathematics to man and his environment. Several other intervening factors were suspected to be responsible for the poor performance of secondary school students. Suggestions were made for further in-depth research into the effect of such factors. It is hoped that this submission would help student’s have an ardent interest in mathematics, so much so that more and more students would begin to choose mathematics as a discipline to study. If it does, the purpose of this discussion would have been achieved.
