Don't Kill your child with Maths Options

[madhusudhanp@yah...]

Maths should be made mandatory for engineering preferred students and not for students who go for other major fields like Arts, medicine etc. Were Math’s doesn’t play a major role. Elementary to high school the math’s for non-engineering stream students should have Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, and basic accounts to lead a happy life from childhood to Adulthood. We need to get this in social engineering to build a good citizen without any advanced maths.

Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, theories and proofs never applied in other major fields after a high school.

When parents doesn’t have time to teach math’s, they have to hire tutors.

Many students have the phobia of Math’s. Due to which they go into depression and sometime
it lead's to suicidal tendencies.

Except Math’s, Most of the students do well in other subjects.

Math is involved in everything.
AND it's not only engineers. Have you thought about the fields of science? An astronomer has to determine the height of a star and how far it is. A spectroscopist uses the nanometers (10^-9) wavelengths to determine an element's spectrum. A geologist uses carbon dating to find the age of an organic compound (usually rocks).

Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, theories and proofs never applied in other major fields after a high school.

That's not true.. Designers/architectures use geometry and trigonometry. And the government too. Like the army, for example. When they think of strategies, they have to think of how far it is, the surface area that they'll cover, the volume of a building, etc.
And what about science? Engineering just is a small part of science. There are hundreds of other fields you could go into while working with NASA.

And math is the universal code, y'know? They expect that when aliens communicate with us, they'll send out radio signals in the code of math.
