No. You need to know it. If you go to the store you need to know how to read the prices and to figure out if you have enough money to buy what you want. Someday you will want a house or a car so math is needed in both of those things. If you want to measure for drapes or rugs you need math. To balance your checkbook you need math, to make change or get change you need math, to do your taxes you need math, to cook you need math, to know what kind of gas mileage you get you need math, to sew you need math, to frame a picture you need math, to figure your GPA you need math. Math is used for just about everything.
