What Is The Importance Of Mathematics To Arts Students ??? by Nobody: 9:26pm On Sep 21, 2014 |
Most students in Art class are generally not good in maths but they are forced to pass it after all.. 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 9 Likes 4 Shares |

Actually you have to look at it from a broader perspective. Many students here has no business being in schools. There must be something they are good at and must be encouraged to pursue that line but in a society where every mother or father wants to brag that "my son is a doctor or or lawyer" This is what we get. Even in Most civilized nations, math is never compulsory. But here, we made a foreign language compulsory and made foreign religion compulsory to some level too. How can you grow when you are busy promoting others. 35 Likes |

Maths is important for critical thinking. It exercises the brain and sharpen your thinking skills. It helps us recognise patterns and to understand the world around us. The knowledge of maths produces numeracy just as the knowledge of languages (English language for instance) produces literacy. Here are some examples of what I mean by numeracy: (a) Being able to critically assess statistics. (b) Being able to manage family/personal budgets , purchases and business transactions. (c) Being able to estimate – in all kinds of situations, e.g. journey speed, time and distance, roughly how much a bill will be or your expected bank balance at the end of the month... 92 Likes 9 Shares |

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. 5 Likes |

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. 30 Likes 2 Shares |

But I am of the opinion that maths should be a compulsory subject just like english,people need it without knowing they do,I was an art student,a brilliant one and I hated mathematics, and it's affected me a great deal,I hated all my maths teacher.....not knowing I might actually run into maths in the future again,and I did. I studied international relations, maths was part of the compulsory subjects listed for my admission requirements....thank God,I managed to get a pass,but even now at my age,when my younger ones used to bring their homework to me,statistics and co,I felt ashamed cos I couldn't help out. And when I started work,I had to do a little bit of maths every day,so I had to get a maths tutor. 9 Likes 1 Share |
