dcaliph: 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.

Orikinla: There is no art without geometry and symmetry.
And you need mathematics to understand geometry and symmetry.
I have done paintings based on equations and one of the greatest artists of all time, Leonardo Da Vinci was a mathematician and his immense knowledge of mathematics made him a genius in fine arts.

Drawings and paintings are done with dimensions.

My own artworks even include science and medicine.

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.

eleojo23: 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...

Orikinla: Mathematics is necessary in every aspect of life, including the Art of Seduction and Sex.
The mapping of the geography of romantic landscape of searching for the right person to date and marry and the measurements of sex organs and orga-sms and family planning.

Iamsynord: 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
