yes

Both are essential to society, It's rather like what is more important, food or shelter? Literacy is like the food-- get it first. You may be able to survive for a little while with inadequate shelter. In fact, if you are truly literate, you can read math and science books as you need them. Math is more important than science for most people. You need to know scientific facts, but do not have to re-discover them for yourself. However, you are likely to need math to solve the particular problems that you face everyday and can not look up. Often the role of science is to provide the laws that let one apply mathematics.

Why is history more important than math and science?

If I wanted to argue that history is more important than math and science, I would say that while math and science give us tremendous power, only a knowledge of history would help us to use our power wisely and for good purposes. However, I don't think we can really say which subject is more important. An educated person needs to know about all those things. A person who knows about history but is ignorant about science and math would be lost in the modern world.


Is it true that if you are good at math but bad at essays you will fail science and engineering?

Not necessarily. Math is the language of science, rather than writing. Being a good writer may help, but being strong in the math section is more important. If you understand the math portion, there is no way you can fail

Should there be more women in math and science?

This should be based on interest, not gender. It all depends on if the person likes math/science or not.


Whats more important English or math?

Both are important. But depending on your future career goals, one or the other may be more important. For example, if you want to take up a career in engineering (basically this is "applied science"), you will need a lot of math. Otherwise, for other careers, you won't need much advanced math, and English may be more important.
