    Why do colleges mindlessly require mathematics of everybody, even if you plan to major in poetry or modern dance?http://nyer.cm/1In2aMW

        right? I feel that math courses teach more than numbers - it's about logic and problem solving.

        @Rebeccamead_NYC Because math is purest form of knowledge & shapes our understanding of everything, including poetry & dance.

        because math isn't an occupation, it's something you use every day and it could save your life. Even poets have to count.

        @iwalesino @NewYorker perhaps because a bit of maths might give a sense of symmetry, even to poetry and modern dance.
