Why do we need math that has nothing to do with ...

What is an are major?

I can certainly understand why you asked this question. There was a time in my life, I am sure, when I asked it myself. Have a look at the link I included here. I think it will give you a better answer than I can.  Math is a medium for expressing thought. You need to know about ways of expressing thought...even those you do not like. There are plenty of reasons you may not like math and some of them are not your fault at all. Important though it may be, math is not always taught in a way that encourages you to move forward with it. (The same is true of non math subjects.) You may be, as I was, afraid of math...afraid of not succeeding. That's normal and human. Look at the link. If possible, go to the library or a bookstore and get the book the lady wrote about your question. She may change your mind. One needs to spell correctly and develop enough vocabulary to function in a given field. You can avoid these things along with math, but that avoidance will never help you in life. At least google the book mentioned in the link and post a report on your new found success with math and understanding why it may mean a great deal to you.

There are many things you learn in life that you'll never use in your profession.  Your profession is just one part of your life, though.  Knowing about the world as a whole, being able to understand and interact with others, and the ability to be fascinated by things... these things also matter a lot.  This is why learning math is important.  Try to learn to like it.

Hi, actually Math has a great deal to do whatever major you have decided to pursue.

Solving Mathematical problems is a process, a trial of what works and what doesn't.  Even when you automatically respond to 2+2=4 you have utilized a process.

As you grow and learn, the processes of solving Math problems becomes more complicated. [x=2 and y=4 therefore x + Y = 6]  Your mind begins to understand the relationship of numbers and ideas - if something is missing in your equation you discover the ability of still solving the problem.  [If you must divide 6 piles of wood into 3 individual equal piles how many piles would be in each stack. x+y=z 

You are given two constants--if x=6  and z=3 equal?  Ergo: 6+y = 6 divided by 3=2 therefore y= 2.]

 So you say "How did you do that?"  The answer is in the process of solving the problem, learning how to set up the possibilities, work through the solutions and determine the most acqurate solutions.  Mathmatics.

Translate this process into the other fields of education. You wil find whether they be Science, language, the Arts, or the Social Sciences that learning the process of what is true and what isn't, the processes of what works or what doesn't in a marketing situation is all in your ability to solve a problem and to create a solution. [Mathmathics]

if you learn to utilize your problem solving abilities in Mathmatics you will be able to apply them to other majors.  Hope this helps.

Remember it is all in the process.

I reality math is everywhere, you can't use internet without math, same thing i ask myself, but you must work or understand for yourself to know it, seek and you will find. I makes the life much easier.
