What's the best way to improve the math literacy of a community?
I keep thinking that the lack of applications is very detrimental to the perception of it.
Perhaps a good approach would be to give what is learnt practical applications immediately, this would probably change the perspective of it greatly.
Personally I was a math hater, until I started studying code, then I saw how all that I had learned could be used and started to love em.

Ughh have you ever heard of ummm APPLIED MATHEMATICS??
Blame high school for the lack of understanding of math also. You won't use math unless your in some niche role like engineering or a government statistician.
No one uses it. Even in construction most math i used was a tape mesure

Math literacy doesn’t need improvement. When some dumbass says he doesn’t need math, then he doesn’t have the intellectual capacity for it and will choose a career unrelated to it. I don’t even think we need universal literacy. Why the fuck does a construction worker need to read?

>Applied mathematics
Yes that's my point. But there's math in accounting, there's math in finances, basic home finances could be taught alongside with the basics of algebra, for instance

I was a math hater and then it suddenly clicked and I started loving math and switched into a STEM major where I made close to perfect grades thereafter. I use UG diffyq and LinA every day at work.

What do you do for work that requires Math's

I'm a programmer but I don't need to *learn* math. My IQ is high enough for me to apply mathematical principles without having had to learn them because it just comes naturally to me. I just focused on coding since I was like 10. I do math without having to ever learn it. It comes naturally if you're smart.

>I am special I don't need to learn a subject. I understand computational linguistics.
Yea ok buddy. Programming is easy. Try learning integrated circuits or electromagnetism.
.
I guess calculating frequencies don't matter in your world. The piezoelectric effect of a semiconductor crystal? Nah trust me bro it comes natural.
How pathetic the average 4 chan commentor is

Reframe it as quasi-religious and 'esoteric' but with no moral committment like actual religion and people will flock to it just like they flock to birth stones and star signs

This happened to me. I read the enneads and now I'm working on a math degree.

after 200 years of science, it's been already petering out and it turns out women and their orbiters dont really give a shit about this and how the objects they use in daily life work.
What women and their orbiters want is just the ease of cooming provided by all the materialist progress

Programming is literally just a trade school apprenticeship level skill.
