Jimmy Buffet wrote a song called, 'Math Sucks'. I have it on a cd I found. It is a pretty ignorant song, and I think he should burn in Hell for it, but that is just my opinion.
I like Math. ( That's all I have to say on the web to validate anything, is to just say I 'like' something. Pretty stupid, but that is how the world operates these days. )
Anyway, mathematics is a language that operates on logic. There is a sense and beauty to it.
Yes, math does get pretty hard. I still don't know what exactly was being discussed in my 11th grade Trigonometry class.
A foundation in mathematics can lay the groundwork for reason and logic throughout life. Retention of mathematical language becomes hard-wired. They tested senior citizens, and their knowledge of math was similar to people in their twenties and thirties.
They did do a study, though, that people who went into sports and music got laid more often than their mathematical counterparts.
If a woman is given a choice between a professional quarterback, a lead singer in a rock band, or a mathematical genius, chances are that the mathematical genius will not be picked as a suitable mate.
You can do the math on that one.
