Technology is everywhere around us, and you need mathematics to master it!
And Mathematics is not just numbers, it is about patterns, too!
So jobs like fashion and interior design benefit from math skills.
Mathematics is also useful in everyday life:
Investing money (interest rates, profits, etc)
Estimating costs
Shopping (is it really a bargain?)
Understanding Computers
Designing rooms and gardens
Planning trips
Mathematics also improves our mental ability as it teaches us logical ways of thinking.
And anyway, it is just plain fun: what other subject is about solving puzzles?
How to Be an Expert
There are two major steps:
learn get use

Try to do about 1 hour of practice on your own each day*
