those two things help the scientists figure out what the world is all about, like measurements, formulas like speed=distance times time, and many other things. they just help us improve technology to help the world

without it we wouldn't understand global warming, how to stop it, how to create medicines. we wouldn't understand how water is made.\n\nwith out science we know nothing and will be DEAD as DOORNAILS which wouldn't be invented without chemistary and the knowledge if bonding 2 metals or more chemically

Have you ever heard of a slide rule?  Until computers came along, every mathematician used one to work out complex mathematical operations.  I don't think they even sell those things any more.

The only faith required for science is the belief that the physical universe is at least partially knowable. Where gaps are filled in by conjecture, scientists are busy trying to prove or disprove the conjectures - no one takes it on faith. The fact that science may see things differently next year makes it very different from religion, where any change in the dogma leads to accusations of heresy and other histrionics. \n\nScience is also willing to admit it doesn't know everything, where religion expects you to accept it as absolute truth. Your understanding of science is very distorted; I hope you will manage to gain some education in that area.

Don't overlook the fact that numbers are entirely an artifice.  Mathematics is not a 'natural' science, such as physics.  It is a contrivance, a tool used to understand the physical world.

That's untrue.  Quite in fact, the absence of the zero stifled the advancement of mathematics in the west for a long time.  Zero is a number of fundamental importance.\n\nI don't know where you're getting your info.  Perhaps someone got an award from some group of idiots that thought he was being clever, but zero is far, far, far, far, far from being nonsense.\n\nSomeone is jerking your chain, bro.  Give up onit already.  You need to recognize that you were duped and move on.

Algebra is needed for SO many things! Recipes, budgeting you name it. It teaches problem solving. Geometry is good to shape your mind to think logically. I actually took geometry twice out of my own free will because I loved proving the angles were equal or whatever. My mind was never so sharp. Trig, well I actually haven't found a use for that yet....

Everything can be mathematically based, so I would have to say the advantages of knowing mathematics totally outweighs the disadvantages of learning it.\n\nHistory\nMain article: History of mathematics \nThe evolution of mathematics might be seen to be an ever-increasing series of abstractions, or alternatively an expansion of subject matter. The first abstraction was probably that of numbers. The realization that two apples and two oranges have something in common, namely that they fill the hands of exactly one person, was a breakthrough in human thought. In addition to recognizing how to count concrete objects, prehistoric peoples also recognized how to count abstract quantities, like time -- days, seasons, years. Arithmetic (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), naturally followed. Monolithic monuments testify to a knowledge of geometry.\n\nFurther steps need writing or some other system for recording numbers such as tallies or the knotted strings called khipu used by the Inca empire to store numerical data. Numeral systems have been many and diverse.\n\nFrom the beginnings of recorded history, the major disciplines within mathematics arose out of the need to do calculations on taxation and commerce, to understand the relationships among numbers, to measure land, and to predict astronomical events. These needs can be roughly related to the broad subdivision of mathematics, into the studies of quantity, structure, space, and change.\n\nMathematics since has been much extended, and there has been a fruitful interaction between mathematics and science, to the benefit of both.\n\nMathematical discoveries have been made throughout history and continue to be made today. According to Mikhail B. Sevryuk, in the January 2006 issue of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, "The number of papers and books included in the Mathematical Reviews database since 1940 (the first year of operation of MR) is now more than 1.9 million, and more than 75 thousand items are added to the database each year. The overwhelming majority of works in this ocean contain new mathematical theorems and their proof."

Practice is important, but it isn't all that matters.  Mathematicians on the cutting edge of the field must be creative and intelligent to succeed.  The best mathematicians also have a great deal of imagination as well.  Math is also a hell of a lot of work sometimes.\n\nMathematics evolves to suit the application required of it, and it requires a certain kind of intelligence to develop new theories.  It isn't as if someone woke up one day and invented math out of thin air.  It was created to help model real phenomena.  There is some memorization involved in nearly all mathematics, because it would be utterly exhausting to rediscover every theorem and fact required to solve a problem on the spot.  Generally, more advanced math cannot be done without a lot of thinking though.

You need LCM to do the merest math, which is needed in all the sciences. You cannot do chemistry, biology, physics, geology, astronomy, meteorology, or any science without knowing LCM.

It's a real "use-it-or-lose-it" skill, but most people find that their major problem in mathematics is a poor understanding of the basic ideas. And I do mean basic! Math is a harsh mistress, and those small 'easy' mistakes often trip people over more than larger problems! So take a crack at any problem areas you KNOW you have and stuff, stuff, stuff your brains with it!

As far as I understand it, most disciplines of "hard science" are built on principles of mathematics, but mathematics in of itself is not considered a "hard science." As more advanced it becomes, the more theoretical it gets, and starts to resemble something like philosophy.

Mathematics can be found everywhere because the heart of Mathematics is founded on basic concepts that is able to represent more complex issues in ways that are consistent, predictable and can be processed to solve real world problems.\n\nEvery human carries with him/her a human metronome that counts regularly between 60-100 beats per minute - your heart.\n\nRegular counting is translated into Rhythms, Rhythm plus Notes (musical notes of mathematically structured frequencies, e.g. A-440Hz) gives you Music, Music cut on CDs are done by digital encoding. Digital encoding needs compression to maximise storage, good encoding, needs good Mathematics to get good results. Encoding can be used for Videos, you get DVD, High Definition TVs.\n\nYou purchase these goods with your credit card, the financial industry needs, security codes and authentication to validate purchases, these needs Mathematics. The data generated by large amount of transactions requires mathematical processing to make sense of it. Statistical analysis to do data mining, analysis and presentation.\n\nAnalysis help to generate more intelligence so that manufacturers can target the correct market with the correct products. Companies makes lots of money and get funding in the stock exchanges, stock exchanges uses technical analysis and modeling to predict performance of companies. You invest in the stock market, you made a kill and laugh all the way to the bank. Don't tell me now, at the bank, we are back to Mathematics again. Yes, you draw some money and you have a candle light dinner with your loved one. Beautiful music is played and you remember Mathematics is in Music and your Heart beat is comforted, relaxed and striking at a comfortable 60 beats per minute. \n\nAnd you sit sit back and reflect "Why, Mathematics does have an effect on the entire world!"

Mathematics (colloquially, maths or math) is the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity, structure, space, and change, and the academic discipline which studies them; Benjamin Peirce called it "the science that draws necessary conclusions"[1] . It evolved, through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, from counting, calculation, measurement, and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Mathematicians explore such concepts, aiming to formulate new conjectures and establish their truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.[2]\n\nKnowledge and use of basic mathematics have always been an inherent and integral part of individual and group life. Refinements of the basic ideas are visible in ancient mathematical texts originating in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and ancient India, with increased rigour later introduced by the ancient Greeks. From this point on, the development continued in short bursts until the Renaissance period of the 16th century where mathematical innovations interacted with new scientific discoveries leading to an acceleration in understanding that continues to the present day.[3]\n\nToday, mathematics is used throughout the world in many fields, including science, engineering, medicine and economics. The application of mathematics to such fields, often dubbed applied mathematics, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries and has sometimes led to the development of entirely new disciplines. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics for its own sake without having any practical application in mind, although applications for what begins as pure mathematics are often discovered later on.\n\n\nHistory\nA quipu, a counting device used by the Inca.\nEnlarge\nA quipu, a counting device used by the Inca.\n\n    Main article: History of mathematics\n\nThe evolution of mathematics might be seen to be an ever-increasing series of abstractions, or alternatively an expansion of subject matter.

It's not that mathematics always works, it doesn't. You just study the part that has been shown to work, not the part where it fails.\n\nFor example, mathematicians spent years trying to solve the problem of squaring the circle. That is , given a circle, they wanted to be able to construct a square that had the same area as the circle (using compass and straightedge).  It can't be done. \n\nThey also spent years trying to find a method for trisecting angles. Again they failed because it can't be done. There are some angles that you can't trisect.\n\nSo for everything that you have studied that always works, there are dozens of things that you don't study because they are only true some of the time.\n\nOh, and in spite of all the fools who keep posting the "proof", 1= 0 is never true.
