How subjects taught in school benefit us: Math

By far the most useless subject of all subjects.

|History|

It was found by Isaac Newton while he was sitting under a tree and when an apple dropped on his head, causing his head to bleed vigorously. As he wanted to count the amount of blood he lost, he took out his calculator and attempted to COUNT. But, it was impossible as maths was not invented yet. So, he sat down and wrote the first ten numbers:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13.

10, 11 and 12 was only invented fifty years later, when someone tried to calculate 13 minus 2, and did not have any such number to do it.

|Present|

Schools all over the world is teaching their students Math, and these are several reasons why they have to study Math (so importantly).

1) To calculate the 2% increase in GST.
2) To pay the government taxes.
3) To NOT be cheated by irresponsible school vendors:



4) To calculate time left before recess.
5) To calculate this equation:

1 + 1 = A window!

Get it? |+| <----- LOOK! Wow, I LOVE Math! Okay, that was sarcastic. So, why are we learning Math? Here's one story: Britney Spears, who had to serve National Service, went to a barber to get her hair trimmed, and so, the uncle asked her: "I think, it would be best if I cut your hair with f(x)=3xx+4x+56 or would you want me to cut your hair which is now |2x-23|=y?" Britney stood there, nailed to the ground. Her lack of knowledge for math had proven to be fatal at times. So she replied: "2... ...plus... ...2... ...equals... ...5" The next moment, her hair was GONE.
