Wade’s Math Essay Why do we need math? There are many reasons such as knowing how to count how much money you have, Ex.: Without Math- “I have a couple of dollars, but how much do I need to buy this? I can’t count.” → With Math- “I have 10 dollars. I have enough to buy what I want.” Math also helps us understand alot about different dimensions and the Space-Time Continuum. Definition of the Space-Time Continuum: Einstein's theory of special relativity created a fundamental link between space and time. The universe can be viewed as having three space dimensions: up/down, left/right, forward/backward, and one time dimension. This 4-dimensional space is referred to as the space-time continuum. Without math there would be so much chaos in the world.
