addition and subtraction is all I need. Maybe even multiplication.
My check adds money to my bank account, bills subtract it. Investments multiply it. |

In my personal opinion, mathematics is one of the keys to understanding the mysteries of life. With mathematics, you can predict the future and prove the basic facts of life. Mathematics is the main ingredient of a healthy mind. That is why I studied the **** out of math in school and continue to study in it today. I am not a math genius by any means, but I am an advocate of the old saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it."
To any teenagers out there: take as many math courses as you possibly can. You will not regret this decision. To any parents out there: encourage your children to take as many math courses as they possibly can. |

I use math every day. I play poker a lot and I have to calculate odds. So division/ratio's are pretty key. When I was waiting tables for a living I could also calculate the percentage of the tip to the tenth every time

I fucking hate math. Numbers and I do not get along at all.

A society cannot achieve much technologically without math, so everyone should appreciate what is makes possible. Saying you don't like math is akin to saying you don't like agriculture. You may not like to farm, but you need to eat to survive.
I make a decent living based largely on my ability to apply math to practical situation. I get great satisfaction and enjoyment out of having a computer do very numerically intensive calculations that represent some aspect of reality. |
