People need to learn mathematics to create technology. I had great Math teachers all through my life in America and used it extensively in Nursing and teaching. We had to learn math in our heads and be able to write and read this language. Humans have done math as far back as the first humans. Think about if a woman had twins. One plus one is two. Two ears one mouth and so on. Quantum physics I have been told is the hardest. Chemistry is important in making a good Pharmacist. Engineers need math to build.
