 our daily life as we continue to rely on it for counting, resolving equations and much more. Some think that learning
maths
 has no importance and
therefore
 request that students do not learn it while others argue that it is indeed an essential subject.
This
 essay will explain why some are against the study of
mathematics
 and
also
 point out why others believe learning
maths
 is of the utmost importance. Many
support
 the idea that learning
mathematics
 is not necessary because once a student graduates from school, they are presented with several jobs, a handful of them not requiring knowledge of
maths
. An example of a job that doesn’t require knowledge of
mathematics
 is that of a driver, many
support
this
 idea by arguing that a driver is someone who takes
people
 from
one
 point to another that could be through a vehicle or another mode of transport that uses the road and
therefore
 they only need to know how to drive a vehicle and know the rules/codes of the road.
In contrast
