My point is that math is not needed. Once again, that's my point. I am trying to help this person. What are you trying to do? Grandstand about your fiend of interest?
I suggest people not avoid math, since they are still young.
There may be a lot of careers that don't use math on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean you don't have to have a solid understanding of math to break in.
Are you saying I'm out of luck? What about the other jobs he listed, what kind of math do they require?
I agree with you! The world does not revolve around math, but to hear some of the people on this thread and other, one might think that it does.
They seem to attack anyone who suggests otherwise.
Since your daughter excels in other subjects, I think that there is a good chance that she has dyscalculia. For further information, visit dyscalculia.org. YES there is a name for it!
I am glad that your daughter is doing well in college. I am sure that she is a smart young woman. Her experiences well make her a more sensitive educator. I think that her kindergarten class is lucky to have her as a teacher.
Fascinating. I've never heard of that. I did look it up but she really didn't have any of the other symptoms. Basically, to her numbers were a foreign language. As she has grown she has become much better in Math. Well at least the basics. That's why she can't teach above 3rd grade. She couldn't teach the Math.
OK, so I'm no good at math (I can't even do algebra), and I wonder if there are any good majors and/or degrees that don't involve math or science, or am I doomed to be a failure in life?
You are not doomed for failure, not by a long shot. You don't have to be good at math to be successful. Here are a few good majors for non-math majors:
Liberal Arts/Humanities
Film/Theater
Journalism/Broadcasting/Communications
English (can follow with a masters in fine arts or creative writing)
Psychology (although you'll need at least a masters also)
Sociology (will need an advanced degree)
Political Science (can go on to Law school)
Nursing
Physical Therapy
Computer Science
Business (the math required is doable, even if you need a tutor )

hmmm...I guess I should go tell my sister-in-law all the times she has found doc screw ups on when checking dosage charts, she didn't use math.
Thanks for letting me know, so I can tell her.
I'm a part time personal trainer, I can assure you I use math when developing diet plans for clients.
Unit dosage is normal and many nurses do catch drs mistakes on many levels. No math involved. More frequently it is caught in the pharmacy since oh - that last thirty years.arithmetic.
As a personal trainer you use Mathematics? I think that you are confused. Mathematics is different from yarithmetic. Arithmatic is not a problem for mostly anyone.
I'm a high school graduate. I think it's too late for me to try to learn Calculus/Statistics.
Also, now that I think about it, I can remember bits and pieces of algebra, and I can remember the formulas.
