The world would be a better place without mathematics.
I disagree with this statement because the world wouldn't be as advanced as it is now. If we think about it, everything we do, starting from the moment we wake up to the moment before we all go to bed we use math. We wouldn't have all the technology such as medical machinery, roller coasters, iPods, t.vs and calculators because inventing these things takes math to measure and do. We wouldn't have these buildings, bridges, trains, or airplanes because we wouldn't know how to construct them without proper measurements because the world doesn't have math. A simpler way without math would be not knowing how to add, subtract, use fractions, make food taste right, make clothing fit, wear proper shoes. Most important, we wouldn't be able to use money, we'd still be trading our belongings. We would also be late for everything and we wouldn't know when to meet at what time or get early to important meetings. As some of my followers just finished reading on this math blog, the main point im trying to give out is that the world would be a horrible place without math.

Well done Stephanie! I like how you connected the importance of math to merchants of "yesteryear", referring to trading and money. Perfect!
