What's so great about math? Why do we need to learn it?

Math is important. As an engineer, I got to see an in-depth application of it. Students should learn it for several reasons. Math reaches every product they use. An easy examples are the iPhone and computers. Without math, these popular products would not exist and not redefine the way we live. Now I know not every student will want to be an engineer or scientist. They need to see the applications to their lives everyday, such as using money. I don’t think any student wants to be ripped off or lose more money than they need to. I’ve also realized that math is a good tool to develop problem-solving skills, so even if students don’t love math, they gain the ability to problem solve. I hope that students can see why math is important to learn. It's not just about numbers and greek letters.
