How important is maths in careers such as inventing technology or genetic engineering?
Maths is the very foundation of most if not all engineering fields. It is very important because in engineering, you solve problems by designing new technology. To solve problems, you need to “translate” or model these problems into mathematical language (differential equations etc) and then using maths skills, solve these problems and get a solution. Then you finally convert the solution into real life solution in such a way it can be applied. So you see maths is essential to engineering, be it genetic or mechanical. Maths is important in predicting physical conditions for a system even before the system is physically built. You can tell with maths if there will be weight/gravity problem for instance with your design even before you design. 21 years old, you still have plenty of time to master this beautiful topic, it’s not definitely too late. You may not like it at first but if you have a motivation, then you will come to enjoy maths. You just have to be determined and have the spir
