[quote author=davestead] WAEC has started including further Maths like Cordinate geometry, matrices, differenciation and integration and its applications in SSCE syllables. Get any latest New General Mathematics and confirm this.[/quote] Thats nice |

dhammyg: You may not be completely wrong as everything will eventually narrow down to the individual interests and some other cognitive factors. Need i say that my secondary school syllabus then (over a decade ago dunno if its still operating) was designed such that everybody did ALL subjects in science/art/commercial till the end of SS2. As a science student i did 17subjects and at the end of SS2 i was the overall best in 'ironically' two distant subjects -Physics and Literature...(performed woefully in some 'less-concerned-subjects'). However faintly, i still can recall line-for-line some of the prose/drama and their respective background interpretations. Even though my first love is Engineering as I'm a practicing engr, i still nurse the interest of studying Law if i ever get the time nd resources. |

Mathematics and Arts does have a long historical relationship. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks knew about ratios and regarded them as being aesthetically pleasing to the sight and mind. I quite agree with @ZUBY77 on his point. And @Iamsynord I don't think Mathematics should be scrapped from the Arts academic syllabus at all. Rather, it should be encouraged. Did you know, that the famous Leonardo da Vinci made use of mathematics in his work? Even in modern times, artists are using mathematical forms extensively to develop new painting styles. Let's also look at it from another broader perspective, the Labour Market. Imagine an Arts graduate on a Job hunt and at the interview, he is given a test on mental prowess and problem solving skills, how would he cope? Employers and managers today know that Mathematics and Arithmetic logic is key for mental development of any individual. Any Arts graduate in the house searching for a job?

Maths is beneficial for everyone be it science or art students. One basic area we deployed d use of maths in my famly was in our personal building, particularly in the calculation of d aluminium roofing. We were about to be subchanged when we applyed the use of simple pythagoras theorem to calculate the number of wood and the required square metre of the aluminium roofing sheet. By dat we were able to save over N1,000,000. 1 Like |

At the sound of Mathematics, all Arts students...*Usain Bolt* I avoided Maths as much as possible. I studied English in the University so as to avoid anything Mathematical but when I started my second degree *gbam* na so Maths and Statistics drop for my laps (because of Research methodology) You will always need Maths except you're not interested in further studies. 1 Like |

Na simple maths you dey mention so, what is integration applicable to in Law? fuckluv: Why re-write WAEC 6 times just because of maths? That guy needs to be flogged. |

Iamsynord: Most students in Art class are generally not good in maths but they are forced to pass it after all..the reason they made maths compulsory for art students is because many people go to arts to run away from maths. So they just kept the stupid law to keep people in science. Just like most parents want their kids to be engineers nd doctors |
