  • No, because you will have use for it, both in whatever work you wind up in as well as in your daily life.
  • In your senior year, you don't have to take math.
  • No, they tell you what is part of standard curriculum so you have to learn it.
  • Maths is always useful..... and it's not that you can't understand it, it's just that you've never had it explained to you in a way that makes sense to you - we all think about maths differently, and some teachers are just lousy too!...... Try getting other people to explain it to you.....
  • The world revolves around trade. I'll give you this you give me that. Most of the trading involves money and money is numbers. You need to know about manipulating numbers. In jrhigh and high school I was THE mathimatical failure and I became afraid. Don't be afraid of them. In college I took everything BUT math. When the time finally came that I had no choice I decided that if I couldn't do then that was it. I succeded beyond my wildest dreams. Now I love them, I play with them, I read about them. Numbers are abstracts. I can have 1,2,or 3 oranges. I can have A,B or C oranges. It's nothing Einsteinish, it's thought and logic-simple actually. They're harmless little symbols for conveying a thought absolutely nothing more. You've only got 26 letters in the alphabet and you can jumble them up to represent sounds that make words that ask and answer questions if you follow the rules. Numbers have rules too. Follow the rules and you can jumble them up to figure stuff out and that's asking and answering questions isn't it? Numbers require thinking outside the box. Make a number line - WAIT!!! Humor me. Get a piece of paper and make your own personal private number line. Add if you're going to the right and subtract if you're going to the left. Division is busting them up in little pieces. If your line gets messed up, throw it away and start over. Don't be afraid of them; they're toys, play with them. ...-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5... I think it was Winston Churchill that said, "Never, never, ever quit."
