math

      Without math where would we be? Math is important, and we use it on a daily basis, whether we use it while we’re out at the mall calculating our total cost for the new outfit we have been dying to purchase, or ordinary but necessary groceries. Unfortunately mathematics is taken for granted, several people feel that math is not necessary, or they feel that math isn’t necessary after they have learned how to add, subtract, divide, and multiply. This common misconceptions, is rudely proven incorrect when someone decides to dine out to a fancy restaurant, and they aren’t sure how much of a tip their waitress is suppose to receive.

   Regardless of someone’s career choice mathematics is necessary. Math is also the most avoided subject, possibly due to the fact that math is somewhat difficult to most, or because within a moment math can go from being simple to challenging.  People should attempt to realize the beauty, and significance of mathematics. Math is difficult; however math is most likely the only subject that you will only find one answer to the equation or problem. The world that we live in would not be able to survive let alone function properly without math. We as people don’t realize how many times a day we actually use math. If mathematics would have not been discovered or taught to people we would not have houses, cars, medicine, or clothes. When an architect begins to build a house he or she must know simple measurements, and how much wood they need to build a house. A nurse must understand how much medicine a patient needs, if she didn’t know the correct amount of medicine the patient could possibly overdose. The importance of math walks through our world unnoticed, but consistently is used throughout our everyday lives, we must appreciate the power of math.
