It's funny, reading the post you're replying to, I basically read it as
> I don't need math, I need <math, but by another name>
My teenage daughter used to complain about math, and I spent some time trying to explain to her that we use math every day... EVERY day. Now, when I see her do something that was math (even if it's not obvious it was math), I say "Math... every day". I say that a lot.
Also, yes, my daughter finds me annoying. But also funny; but likely not for the math thing.
