When will I ever need to use this in real life?

Maths is something you can make use of for the rest of your life.Obviously, there are a vast number of jobs out there, such as engineering, which use mathematics everyday so if that's the sort of thing that you are interested in then these maths skills will be very handy!Additionally, you can take the methodical, logical approaches and problem-solving abilities needed to solve these questions through with you into other subjects and professional work outside of the mathematical field. Thirdly, numbers will always be around us, especially when it comes to paying bills. Understanding mathematics could help you to save money as you can create spreadsheets and models to monitor your spending and energy usage.
