Re: numbers
The whole modern world is based on math.
Money, Building, Technology, Computers, Science, Engineering, Medicine, Travel, ...
In fact math is so powerful it goes further than that, and can be used to examine new and wonderful ideas that go beyond our normal world.

That's true! You should at least be able to know about money - also, how would you know if you are given the correct change at the shop?

The Ancient Egyptians also used maths, for example, to build pyramids, and the pharoes servents counted and added the gold. Infact, they were some-what smater then we are.
