Why should we learn maths?
![]() Math helps us to identify patterns and relationships. Two things that may at first glance appear very different, may turn out to be mathematically very similar. Math helps us keep score - not just in sports, but in everything that we measure: time, distance, money, cooking quantities, building materials, etc. Math helps us make better choices: Is the economy size of toothpaste really worth it? How much highway driving makes a hybrid car a better value? Sometimes math helps us make the best choice. Is there a way to use the least amount of fencing to cover a certain area? Math helps us decide whether the conclusions of polls are reasonable or not. If someone tells you that "Three out of four college students prefer Whompers" - do they really? Math is crucial in the natural sciences like physics and chemistry, but it is also important in the social sciences such as economics and sociology. Most college majors require at least some mathematics. Limiting the math that you study may limit your career options. Math has connections to subjects where you might not expect it - art, music, and poetry are a few. Did Shakespeare really write all the plays commonly attributed to him - mathematicians have attempted to answer this. If you are in school now, you may live for another fifty years, or more. Technology is changing so rapidly, and no one can predict the skills that people will need in the workplace or at home in the coming years. Most math teachers would be willing to bet that you will be better prepared for the future by getting a good background in math. Math can be fun. Just as we play games, do crossword puzzles, and read mysteries for fun, math shares characteristics with all of these. What if the electric cash register stops working at the store? You still have to make change. |
