there are levels of surviving. to just survive i guess u just need food/cloth/shelter

everyone related to math one in some way

Answer 24

math is not useful in general... math is luxury :P

Answer 25

Why then, are we forced to learn it?

Answer 26

in school we're forced to study all subjects (that gives basics/general idea of everything)

however, you're free to choose the subjects you're interested in ur higher studies right ?

Answer 27

"math is luxury" last fun from 2013 tahnks :)

Answer 28

without basic maths you cannot survive

Answer 29

Yeah, yet I know basic maths. Why do we spend 12+ years learning math when we only need the first 3?

Answer 30

I think calculus is necessary even if one chooses a non-math career like : liberal arts / commerce/medicine/microbiology - to analyze markets / trends.
I feel basic math doesnt just mean add/sub/mult/div ;) just my thoughts....

Answer 31

I'd have to disagree with you here. I know plenty of people that don't understand calculus and are living long, happy lives without knowledge of it.

Answer 32

I agree wid you on that. I was saying the same thing. Not all careers require math. It only helps you if you have math background. It is strictly not necessary.

Answer 33

Why do we force everyone to learn so much unnecessary math then?

Answer 34

There is no unnecessary math upto 12th grade syllabus. Its all basics only. One need to know the basics.

I know many illiterate people who are doing well in some businesses. Should I care to ask myself, Is formal education required ?

Answer 35

Syllabus for students is designed keeping in mind the IQ's of students in a particular region, and the overall idea of students on rest of the planet. So, syllabus must be useful to the students, and at the same time be competitive wid other regions/countries. If we delete math after 3rd grade, our students cannot compete wid the students of other countries.

Its not a matter of survival/death. Its one level higher than that...

Answer 36

because math is fun

Answer 37

Math stinks, but what's the use of complaining when we can't change the fact that we are still going to have to learn it.

Answer 38

Noob =.=
