All area, wherever you go..you will use that algebra for your work. For example, the simple one, if you are working in the service company, and you have to make a report of the percentage of total complaint you receive a day...\nYou have to use your algebra.\n\nDon't ever think it's pointless..., otherwise you will hate it and later on you will regret it, that you don't pay too much attention to that subject

The real world contains minute details that can never be measured with total accuracy. But even though we can't do better than approximations, the unnatural precision in our made-up math enables us to at least better our understanding of things, as we better our approximations.\n\nI'm not sure what you mean by suggesting that math is "flawed". For one, math is not really all about numbers, it is about logic--the logic that first led us to reason that there existed transcendental numbers (also not sure what you mean by "unresolved"). I think part of the problem is that you've been led to a mistaken belief about what math purports to be. Math is not science--at least, it is certainly not a science of the natural world because a lot of real mathematics considers situations that are not considered to necessarily exist in reality. If anything, math is a science of ideas, and even that is waxing poetic a bit. As far as natural science is concerned, math is a conceptual tool--it can form the backbone of scientific theories but it is not science.\n\nExplaining the universe through math is "no more accurate than our explanations of god(s)"? How can you possibly hope to justify such a statement? Are you saying that theology, in the complete absence of math, could enable us to correctly land probes on distant planets, or design electronic computers, etc.?

Mathematics is used whenever one has to analyze relationships between exact quantities. Since a scientific theory or hypothesis must be associated with an empirical measurement (thus the theory must be associated with measurable quantities), the language of mathematics is inseparable from most science.

Only if you plan on doing things in life.  Drive a car at the speed limit, (distance/time), get to where you want to go on time (rate/distance), pay your utility bills, taxes, see if your paycheck is correct, plan for retirement, build or buy a house, go shopping, prepare a meal, have children.  The list is endless (infinite).\nYou decide what you want to do with your life, and those of us that have learned how math and physics affect us will laugh at those of you who haven't.

I know that we have a world of information at our fingertips. \nI am sure it damages our math skills, but our minds are certainly broader because of the wealth of information we recieve.\n\nThe smartest among us can see farther because they stand on the shoulders of giants

Math.  Why do we need to know half of the things they teach us in it???

In general, there isn't much use unless your job requires it. Some jobs today, usually having to do with computers, need Algebra. I read an article in a business magazine that said some of the higher level computer-based jobs need the higher level math and Algebra was listed.\n\nThe problem is, if your brain doesn't work that way, and creative people usually use the other side of their brain, Algebra drives them nuts. They are better suited for Statistics.

modern algebra is used in all scientific fields on almost a daily basis.  Its used everyday by the financial world in calculating interest and money values.  its used by the social sciences to study trends with society. A cashier at a store uses it when she rings up your order (the machine does it for them in most cases) Its basically used by everyone, everyday.

Apply math to real life.\nI remember when I was in high school and i thought that some of the aspects of math were useless and I would never use it.\nI was wrong, completely wrong.\nI have used ratios to determine how to increase machine production on a elemental scale.\nI use fractions and decimals to determine daily outputs and averages.\nI use percentages in calculating payrolls, have to pay those taxes.\n\nIhe list goes on and on, I use math everyday in one way or another.\n\nJust use daily activities to teach math and I wish my teachers would have taught math that way.

For everyday general physics we can rely fully on maths.as basic problems solved are already established by experiments.for example in general gravitation,electrostatics,magnetics.maths used in these areas is also confirmed by a great extent to s.\n \nBUT we don't establish a physical fact by mathematical calculation only.it is established only after theoretical proof.for ex till date we call theory of relativity only "THEORY" while it is established by both logical and mathematical proofs.there are some experimental evidences also but they are not strong enough to establish this theory beyond question.\n     \n \nso basically physics don't rely on math but math is used only as a tool for our logical findings of physics whenever and wherever required.

Maths is easy if you get into the flow and start thinking according to the problem. Its all about the frame of mind. We find it hard cause we are bored by it and don;t want to try for it. In your daily life, subconsciously, your head is doing millions of calculations every moment. Its capable of much more.

It is the most used in daily life. Lots of algebra and other higher maths are not used daily by the ave. person but ave is.

Algebra and all the Maths that one learns at school and college are tools which are ultimately used by Scientists, engineers, doctors, and almost all the people who have something to do with science. Even social scientists like historians and sociologists use it. \n\nIt may seem abstract but Maths is the underlying machinery of the Universe.

Truth be told in my experience most engineers don't use calculus very often.  An understanding of calculus is required to find derivations for most formulas that are used.  But in practical application most problems are solved making assumption that simplfy problems to simple algebra.  One application used in practice is definte intergration ussually using a spreadsheet.

It isn't necessarily the daily use of mathematics which pediatricians require, it is the demanding intellectual challenges and problem solving skills which Medical School and the process of becoming a medical doctor and the act of practicing medicine itself which requires the mental aptitude developed in part by the study of mathematics. \n\nRemember, doctors are scientists first. It is impossible to become a doctor without a strong backgroud in mathematics.

Do you mean, what is the point of studying math in school?  Studying math teaches basic logic skills.  It teaches exactly what it means to prove something.  Most people think that if you can show that something is likely, that likelyhood qualifies as proof.  It doesn't.  the problem is that we live in a society that looks down on logic, where people don't even know the difference between the questions, "What are you thinking?" , and "What are you feeling?"\n\nIts important to know how to apply a process.  To know how to approach any situation in a neutral, uninvolved state of mind.  Studying math can teach these things, if you surrender yourself to it.
