As someone with a math degree it frustrates me that people always say “but when will I use this in the real world?” Whether or not you need that math in the real world the real value in learning math is learning how to approach problems in an organized, specific, and detail oriented process. The process of learning formal logic and following through to the end is a very important skill for people to have. Instead, it’s all about “how do I get to the answer?” There’s a reason why 75% of your score in higher level math is your work and not your answer. The work is what matters
