Archived: The Importance of Math - Archived

Math is a subject that many students dislike. Often times they ask themselves, “Why study such a thing that I will not use in the future?”

To address such a question, we must realize that math is not an unimportant subject. It is not the stereotypical class that everyone imagines, where students, already tired of the headaches, remain half awake.  Rather, it is a pillar that constitutes the foundation of life. It is an imperceptible force that drives our activities and personally interacts with us every day. It is the fingerprints of our Creator’s meticulous and organized workmanship.

In theory, we cannot live without math. In a world without it, we would never know the time. It would mean that we would never be able to make strategic decisions. As a result, we wouldn’t be able to play games. Without it, the New World might still be unknown. Jobs such as designing, engineering and animation wouldn’t exist. Without math, our economy would collapse. And how can society exist without a system that is responsible for distributing and producing goods?

In the future, let’s think again before we ask ourselves why we would ever need to learn math.
