is most math useless?

if by that you mean you are unlikely to directly use most of the math that you learn in school, you’re probably right......... i learned trigonometry......... i don’t use trigonometry.........

what i do use, however, and what remains the primary benefit of mathematics study, is the ability to solve problems......... but math problems are only one kind of problem......... the ability to reason your way through a problem to a solution, however, is a valuable byproduct of such study......... just like it is in your science, english, or art classes.........

math is useless until you get your first credit card bill!

if you know what you are doing even trig, calc and statistics become incredibly useful... if you don't it will definitely not kill you, but your life shall be all the poorer for it...

i use math every day......... i for the life of me cannot believe you don't.........

Actually, most mathematics is useful.

But you have to learn the math before you can learn how to use it,

which means learning the techniques before you understand the applications.

"what is x fractioned to the p of 6 = y" has no meaning, so either (a) your teacher is a moron or (b) you are lying.

Math is like Japanese. If you know it, it can be very useful. If you don't know it, you will survive without it.

with the coming of computers, many applications of math are no longer done by humans. In the old days, engineering calculations were all done by hand -- which included both trigonometry and calculus. Accounting was done by hand and/or adding machine. Multiple other scientific fields used human done calculations -- and hence math.

It is true that, in the modern age, many lower level workers use very little math in their daily lives ... and, it sure helps to have an internal sense of when something isn't mathematically right. This serves as an early warning of several possible scams and schemes. Not to mention avoiding being taken advantage of by the banks.

Maths is used ALL OVER THE WORLD in subjects such as Electrical , Mechanical , Chemical, Gas and Civil Engineering , Physics , Finance , Insurance.

Maths is VERY IMPORTANT.

Start working !

Good luck!
