Math is far from useless. Without math, it would be impossible to make computers, ipods, cell phones, etc. Just for starters. How about money for another. How would a business know how much to charge for an item or service without math. I could go on and on. Hopefully you get the idea.

Math
Useless for it's purpose.

You study math so that you understand how it works. Having a calculator is fine and dandy, but how will you know what operations to use. A good analogy is why should you learn directions if you have a GPS. The GPS will get you around if you know the exact address, but if you don't then it's useless. A calculator only works if you know which buttons to press. Studying math is not just about learning how the functions work, but also learning how to think about a problem that you don't understand and come up with a way to solve it. The calculator can only do your work if you tell it what to do.
