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.

Like everyone has said, math applies in all aspects of our life. If you haven't experienced math in your field of study yet, you have yet to explore your field in depth. For example, music is very mathematically oriented, and one of my music teachers was a music/math double major, and could go on for hours on end about the mathematical elements of music. Pitch is really a certain number of Hz, and to make an instrument play a certain note, it has to resonate at a certain frequency. Also, when it makes a certain sound, it also plays certain divergent harmonics at varying amplitudes. Composition is also about patterns, progressions, and mathematical formulas. You just can't get away from it.
