How come so many students hate math, and yet cannot
72、avoid learning it in school? Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, What good do we get from learning math? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think learning math at school is a waste of time. However, there is much more to ma
73、th than just learning to add and subtract (减) numbers. In fact,math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems.

74、 if we cant think logically? In short, computers are only tools when solving problems. For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests.
