Why do we learn mathematics?

Answer 1

Because if you didnt learn them you would get cheated for alot of money and basically wouldnt be able to live in the real world because everywhere you turn their is math in some form somewhere even if you dont know it its their so you have to learn it so you can be a good member of society!

Answer 2

Think about the time long ago when civilization was basically agricultural. People lived by sunrises and sunsets, and the seasons of planting and harvesting, and cycles of winters, springs, warm days and falls. They saw the moon go thru different phases.

Then they realized that there was a pattern in nature.

In daily lives, they needed to trade with each other for other items. So they needed a way to represent the value of things, and to find a way to make equivalence of things so that they could trade - for example, a fur coat might be equivalent to 10 logs of firewood.

Slowly but surely, math was born...

Today, we have computers to do all the tedious work for us. We are used to all the modern conveniences of life. And math becomes a little more remote to us.

Mathematics governs not only the things in nature but also in economics, society, engineering etc. It's everywhere about us, tho we may not know so.

If I could live my school days again, I'd pay more attention to math (rather than goof off). Math is important, tho admittedly more distant to the man-in-the-street due to the advance in technology.

Math good. Learn math!

Answer 3

True not all math problems and equations are in everyday life, but they do apply in everyday life if you plan on working in, architect, physics, science, chemistry, biology, construction, cashier, manager, mechanic, stocks, accountants, doctors, nurses, and well any actual money making job besides flipping burgers. Even at that job you need to know how to count the degrees to not burn the hamburger. Numbers are part of our everyday life and mathematics in every form, either Algebra, Geometry, C++, or plain addition. It is in our lives and mathematics needs to be taught. It is everyday life.

Answer 4

We use it everyday. Think of all the times in each day you use numbers or estimate something. Every time you exchange money, you use math. you use math when you control your house temperature, measure a window for curtains and estimate how many you will need for each window. Cooking, clothes sizes, gas mileage. i know these are basic things, but if we never learned, how would we know how to do these things?

Answer 5

I wish i were a better communicator so i could stress the importance of mathmatics, but I am not. I would not be answering this question though unless I felt very passionate about mathematics and its primary role in our everyday lives. everything is mathmatics. we are constantly calculating. study it and you will see what I mean!

Answer 6

We need learn MATHS since it is applied in many fields and without MATHS, other sciences subjects will face a bit difficulties. In Fact, maths is a general science and law of nature

Answer 7

Everything in the world revolves around math. Biology, chemistry and any career you go into. The world and everything in it is a math problem.. Get to know it.

Answer 8

Because you'll use it every day. For example, when you shop: how much money do you give the cashier and how much change should they give you. How much longer until your favorite TV show comes on.

Answer 9

Because where there is no confusion, there can be no prestige ☺

That and maybe a bit of a masochistic streak in our personalities ☺

Answer 10

so you can count.

you already use math all the time in your daily life. i'm sure you can come up with plenty of situations where you have to add, subtract, divide, multiply, use fractions, use measurements.
