What do you say to the question "When are we ever gonna use this Math?"
Are people really searching for the utility of Math (perhaps in hope of avoidance!) or it is a challenge question?
Perhaps the real intention is:
"If we're not gonna use it, then please don't make us learn it."
Most are not saying "Wow! This is so cool -- when will I get to use this?".

Please post your comments -- thanks!
PS In "The Magic of Thinking Big", David Schwartz (same name as my Grandpa) writes "Anything that improves thinking ability is education."
