Answers</A>, user <I>SiLv'S</I> asked <A HREF="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ajr1k.Jl1hAuL51eHlOEf3bty6IX?qid=20061207234414AAnjfR6&show=7#profile-info-AA10858784" REL="nofollow">Why must we learn Math?</A><BR/><BR/>My response was:<BR/><BR/>People learn math because math is useful. Most good-paying jobs require some proficiency in math. Even at home, math can be very handy.<BR/><BR/>An example will illustrate what I mean. Everyone cares about money, right? Money is measured in... ? Numbers, right. And how do we understand numbers... ? Yes: math! Take a look at the price schedule provided by XM Radio on their Web site:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.xmradio.com/whatisxm/plans-pricing.xmc" REL="nofollow">http://www.xmradio.com/whatisxm/plans-pricing.xmc</A><BR/><BR/>Go ahead, take a look. Let's assume that you're interested in buying XM's fine service. XM, in that document, says that they are willing to provide service for 1 year, pre-purchased for $142.45. XM also claims that you can "save over 20%" by buying longer amounts of service time, for example by buying a 3 year block of service, again paying up front, for $359.64. Discounting the 1 year price by a measly 5% annually (and you should be able to do much better then this with index funds on the market in the long run), I calculate a present cost for 3 years' worth of XM's 1 year plan to be $344.77. Monthly compounding, which I didn't include, only makes this difference larger.<BR/><BR/>Math: How else are you going to understand your world?Will Dwinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379859054257561952noreply@blogger.com
