fuckluv: Why re-write WAEC 6 times just because of maths? That guy needs to be flogged.

On a lighter note, if you want to explore the "journalism field" for example, you just have to know "something" about "everything". Truly understanding numbers and being able to clearly convey their meaning to readers is a crucial part of being a journalist.

What if you want to report an election proceedings?
You should have a working knowledge of arithmetic, be comfortable with statistics and be able to calculate percentages, ratios and other relationships between numbers. You should also understand what margin of error in polling is, have a basic understanding of probability and be able to work with graphs and charts. And, most importantly, you should be able to use this knowledge to help your readers better understand the issues at hand.

i dey clap for you here.......you have said it all........

Give ur child a good foundation in mathematics and he or she will be ready to slove any maths problem anytime and day....

Many never had a good foundation in maths and that is what is bringing this thread

Princesschi: I'm impatiently waiting for d day wen people would start using '2x-3y = y' in real life.

Whoever invented maths...hmm no comment sha

Well, that car or bus you drive in for example was designed using a lot of advanced algebra (calculus) to help make a better and efficent design.

And when you fly a plane...be thankful your pilot knows basic Cartesian coordinates...which involves maths.

That is where your 2x-3y=y comes in.

bushdoc9919: I don't know much about the Arts...but some fine artists use mathematical concepts in their work.

Richard Sickert is a good Example of such.

kayce911: Math helps u think deeper

so does English- the many angles of it.

Literature encourages more of a deeper thinking than Maths. With Maths there's a laid down procedure, with Literature, you have to explain a poem or a story in relation to the events of your society in YOUR OWN WORDS

To know how to solve maths.

What you are thought at that level is not Mathematics, is it called Arithmetic.

Now ask the question again, if Art students should pass Arithmetic, which us defined as consisting of the study of numbers and their properties namely: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

If you carry any WACE syllabus, that is all that is required of you. You do not computability, you do not Complexity, you do not Algorithm, etc.

Basic Math skills is a must, Otherwise the individual may sell his art for 100,000 kobos and be thinking he's rich - not that there's anything wrong in being a kobonaire

Apparently, the question should be why is English compulsory? lol?

Sorry people, my case was different. In my secondary school days, I hated anything that made me write lots of words ...... CRK, English, Igbo, History most of all Literature in English. Anything mathematics, spatial, pictorial, logical was welcomed.

Glad, I have got the balance now.

My advice to those poor in mathematics, just believe that the next person is not better than you are, you just need to build on your speed. Our brains are wired differently.

it is bias for only science students to take maths.

Without that 2x-3y=y your keyboard will not work, your PC will not work and we all be transformed to the Stone Age.

80% of Wall Street runs on Algorithm, street lights runs on Algorithm, your manufacturing plant runs on Algorithm, there are Pharmacies today that runs on Algorithm, large multinational companies run that customer service center on Algorithm, etc and what is Algorithm, you may ask? It is simply the step by step process if carrying out a calculation from the known to the unknown which is a branch of Mathematic, the same process used to calculate y above.

I know of a Particular boy that had to rewrite waec 6 times just because of Maths despite having As and Bus in the other subjects..
This bring the question of whether mathematics is as important to arts students as it is to other class and that it should be scrapped from d core subjects that one must get at least C ,in our SSCE exams since Arts mainly as to do with talk ,writing and reading instead of the confusing algorithm, phytagoras, bodmas and solving evident in Mathematics..
What is your own view of this

And whats so difficult in High school maths that an art student cant understand? You should pass all your nine subjects or smthing like that regardless of weather it is maths or English or whorever. Being an art student is not an excuse for failing maths. Yall all do maths everyday.

surestsam: abegi... No subject enhances Reasoning than Mathematics....

whatever makes you feel better

So correct,so annoyin when parents emphsize on maths like it will take sm1 to Heaven

eleojo23: Maths is important for critical thinking

I disagree.
Critical thinking can also come from other subjects.
I d prefer that maths be taught as compulsory subject in secondary schools but it should not be mandatory to v credit in it at SSCE. Or possibly give art students who are gaining tertiary institution admission the grace of having at least a pass

djeezy: Nice question. My hatred for maths propelled me to be an art student and subsequently law. I thought my mathematics nightmare days were over until I started doing it as a law student in the uni. I was so devastated and we kept asking ourselves why maths? When we got to the bridge we still crossed it.

. Yeah. In uni and in law school.

I love mathematics but Further maths

Its to to raise their BP as in if the will pass or fail. You guys know the rest. Sha I thanked the guy known as CACAS for helping me to pass calculus. God.punish myth 121

We all need maths to excel. Even if you are an art student, knowing maths would make you better than your peers who don‘t know it. Drawings are usually in proportions and also deals with angles, thats why mathematicians like leonaldo dan vinci excelled in art.

If you are a lawyer you need maths to collect and process data. If the case has to do with finance, a lawyer that is good in maths can use simple percentages to decieve the other one who hates maths.

Also there is personal finance, one need to be able to prepare his budget, if one is abe to put his monthly expenditure in a pie chat and compare it with previous months, he would be better able to manage his finance than one who do not know the proportion of his income he spends in recharge card.

Everybody needs maths, those who say they do not need maths, if they are sincere, would remember the many times they would have been able to solve a problem if they had known maths. And the embarassment of calling a small child to help them do simple calculations. The more maths you know, the more productive you would be.

THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA EDUCATION SYSTEM IS THAT WE WERE NOT TAUGTH HOW TO APPLY MATHS IN OUR LIVES, WE WERE JUST TAUGHT HOW TO SOLVE MATHS.

You have a point.

I don't know why I had to come here. I have discovered that most of the NLs saying that Mathematics is not important to Arts students are those who have not passed their O'level exams. They don't even know their rights from their lefts. They really need proper orientation to get them thinking properly. Maths is critically important to everyone whether a student or not, an arts student or not. To me, if you are still thinking that you do not need Maths, then you need to go back to nursery school and start your reorientation from the scratch.

surestsam: abegi... No subject enhances Reasoning than Mathematics....

I DISAGREE.THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ENHANCE DEEP REASONING MATHS &LITERATURE ARE ONE OF THOSE TWO.AND SINCE ARTS STUDENTS ARE ALREADY DOING LITERATURE WE SHOULDN'T BE BURDENED WITH MATHS

I beg to differ on this stuff you wrote here. A primary school graduate who is able to pass the common entrance with his/her brain should be able to perform those mathematics because basic maths is what is required for those. I believe what the OP is talking about here is mathematics from the sss1-3 and university when there is already a clear distinction that the individual is either an art or science student. In this instance Maths is totally not Needed in anything art if we want to be sincere because it is expected that every student by now is already familiar with basic maths
