You need it everywhere you go, you just used maths by counting 1,2,3 for downloads lol... And the number of downloads left uses maths and the bandwidth remaining needs it too!

ehm i won my mediwar age 21 in capital by using maths/algebra

but for real it realy depends on what ur planning to do. some people need to know maths for their jobs others dont

yeah maths is very useful

what's the time?
what is the date?
what time do you get up?
how many brother/sisters do you have?

not just that if you're talking about like specialist maths .. you need it for engineering and calculating

as for the math u learn in school i think it just to keep your mind sharp... but u don't really use anything above algebra in the real world unless ur job requires you to do a lot of complicated calculations

its just like anzangle said only to keep the mind sharp

Actually math is easy. All you have to do is memorise the basic formulas and be flexible in how you approach a problem. If you dont then its impossible to do anything in maths. Like trigonometry,
SOHCAHTOA,
sin theta= opposite over hypotenuse
cosine theta= adjacent over hypotenuse
tangent theta = opposite over adjacent

And in algebra ooooh I go absolutely crazy about it. There's nothing better than dismantling the formula in front of the teachers eyes and getting that smug feeling that the teacher didnt realise that you could solve that formula or problem.

Math up to Geometry and Algebra 2 is useful, for many different professions in later life. But unless you're going into some crazy technical math and numbers job, all the crazy Calculus stuff REALLY wouldn't be too useful for anything, in my opinion. However, I do think math is a very important subject that students should know.

Math would be useful for those of you who plan to fly a plane, be an enginner or work with NASA. Probability can also win you big in the gambling halls. While trigonometry can give you a higher score in golf.

If you want to get into engineering, computers, medicine, sciences, statistics, accounting, finance etc. then it would be useful
