- a

specific needs of people.
- a way
of thinking characterised by processes such as exploring, manipulating,
discovering, ordering, classifying, generalising, abstracting,
estimating, calculating, predicting, describing, deducing, drawing and
measuring.
- a
powerful, precise and concise means of communication used to represent,
to interpret, to explain and to predict.
- a
creative activity. Accordingly, it involves invention, intuition and
discovery.
