Math is the most important subject in school, in my opinion, and i failed calculus 3 times :P
I work as an IT-monkey so to speak, as many of the locals to this board do, and i use it EVERY day. English class isn't going to give me the brain power to figure out how to calculate stuff that salesman/engineers/accounting/purchasing/factory workers need to know. Math class did!
example:
user puts in dimensions for a frame. a length and a width, in inches. We need to round each dimension up to the nearest 2 foot increment.
NewWidth = Int((Width / 24) + 1) * 2
NewHeight = Int((Height / 24) + 1) * 2
Simple stuff. I have a 2 year degree from a community college that arguably any retard can achieve, and i make a laughable salary.
conclusion:
everyone uses math to some extent. some more than others. Specific areas may not necessarily come to use, but it's the problem solving skills that your brain develops in that area , that counts.
