why do we need math?

Math helps people like scientists and engineers. Pure math has little use in daily life for the average person outside simple addition subtraction multiplication and division. Don’t need to teach hire me at the someone who’s not going to study any of the sciences. Schools waste a hell of a lot of time teaching math. They should be teaching life skills like how to write a check, nutrition and how to cook for yourself, how to rent an apartment, or to buy a house, how to buy a car, how to start your own business, and how to be a civilized human being, then how to determine what candidate to vote for.

Every category you mentioned above involves math. Every one. Except which candidate to vote for.

Saying schools waste time teaching math is like saying schools waste time teaching history…or science…or English…or gym/sports…

School gives you the foundation so you can learn ON YOUR OWN how to do everything you mentioned above. Or so you can research those things because you have the skills to understand what you researched.

Well that’s not what hes asking,and if you actually read people comments b4 you posted maybe you wouldnt put something up to make yourself look stupid,hes asking about math in general not just one subsidy of math

ok first of all relax. that was an example of math in general and what they teach us. like he said, unless you’re someone who will use math for your job then you’ll use it. in general, we should obviously use math when it’s needed but it’s technically not required, even though it would be better if did use math. let them ask their question instead of making them seem stupid for asking, next.

Alright when he ask specifically about the quadratic formula,then say something but he didnt say any specific part of math,he said math,which means all math not specific parts,how are you supposed to do your taxes man,go ahead and tell me what subject you use bud

nahh it’s fine, go ahead and don’t read when i said “use math when it’s needed” that’s totally fine ! go off 🙂

I read it perfectly fine,you’re just not sticking with topic,the question is “why do we need math” not WHEN do we need math,please stay on topic man,I just saw it as irrelevant

Another ended conversation for acpool,cool

sis, idk why you’re looking so deep into a question. i said “it’s not required” but i dont think we need it for everything. that’s my opinion, so relax 🤷🏻‍♀️

ew wtf these emojis suck

I’m relaxed,its an argument site man,if your feelings are gonna get hurt,why are you on here,that’s not the question,stay on topic,he didnt ask “do we need math for everything”,he just asked “why do we need math”thats it,that’s all,that’s everything,nothing else bud,we need math for money,we need math to do our taxes,we need math to launch spaceships into space,etc.we need math for alotta things,how do you expect to do your taxes with out math,its not required,what?!?if your gonna try to arrgue,atleast say something partly intellectual please,none of this should be emotion,it should just be common sense,and logical rebuttals,please if your gonna reply,say something about the topic in a relatable sense please

bih what ? i never said anything about my feelings hurt . y’all heard sum cuz i didn’t ? i know we need math for all that , who tf doesn’t ? it’s not like ur gonna use science for taxes. they asked how does math help us in life and i LITERALLY said , we don’t require math for everything cuz we don’t . ur not gonna use math in english are u ? when i think of math it’s literally everything we learned since highschool, and even the teachers have told us that some of the things that we learned from math aren’t even going to be needed in life, it’s just nice to learn.
