Math is one of the most important things to learn. Why, without math, you wouldn't know, say, how to double a cookie recipie. Or how to divide 24 pieces of candy between you and a friend. (By the way, you would have 12 pieces per person. Yum!) Or, how much money you spent this month. Or how much you should sell a homemade key chain for. And lots of other stuff. If I sound like your math teacher, I'm not.

'Maths' - or, in North America, 'math' - is an abbreviation of the word 'mathematics.' The etymology of this world is fairly simple: it derives from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which means learning, study, science, and, eventually, mathematical study.

Math is needed for many important reasons. Like... Money. When you grow up everyone's wish is to not be "broke" but to be wealthy and people can cheat you out of your money if you do not have knowledge on this subject. You also need to know how to count. counting comes with Subtracting , Multiplying, Dividing, and of course Adding.

Well many of the courses in college require sufficient math./ It like learning to read in school. However, if u get a 90% avearage or above in high school math. You would not need to take the math course in higher education. Well many of the courses in college require sufficient math./ It like learning to read in school.

Math helps us to build things and to predict things like weather, the chance of a house burning down, how much material is needed for something, and so on and so on.

It also helps with complex theories (like the properties of a black hole.

yes, but how did we even get to know this math stuff, did somebody just one day wake up and say, oh, lets a start doing this thing called math and there is ging to be a thing called numbers that is going to make the world this complex universe to confuse it in so man ways!!!

No-one invented maths to make things complicated. Arithmetic and Mathematics appeared first first for entirely practical purposes;, then as science developed, it became clear that vast swathes of natural phenomena work to numerical relationships and have measurable or calculable dimensions. having established that it was a relatively short step to realising those laws for practical purposes, such as designing the PC you are using now, and the electricity supply that powers it.
