From a practical perspective mathematics is a tool for solving problems abstractly rather than by trial and error. It is not useful for all kinds of problems but when it applies, it is nearly always the fastest, most cost-effective and most reliable way to find the solution. Everybody is faced with problems from time to time. You can either get someone to solve them for you or you can solve them yourself.

If you have to solve problems for yourself, mathematics may be the key. The critical thing you need to learn about mathematics is when it will be useful. If you know that a problem may be solved by mathematics you will know where to look for help even if you do not know the necessary mathematics already. As it turns out many problems can be solved with only math and a calculator or home computer.

Besides solving the problems of staying alive, many humans seek something that animals do not care about- something aesthetic, something artistically or mentally stimulating. Some people enjoy philosophical discussions , debates and such that are not essential to their creature needs. Much of mathematics was invented by people like this- people who enjoy the logic and the intricate mathematical structures and machinery that have been built up through the centuries. This will not apply to you if you hate to think, but if you learn enough mathematics to be able to see its beauty and enjoy it, you will never be bored.
