It seems often in math you are taught to do seemingly meaningless series of problems until you reach college (or actually arrive at a class where it is useful) where you find out solving for x and y does actually have a purpose, and that graphing thing you learned in high school is kind of important, maybe I wasn't paying attention in middle school or high school, but I hated math with a passion, because it felt precisely like I described, I was being told to do a bunch of things that had no real connection to me, and I didn't get an explanation of why I'd need them some day. I don't hate math as much now, but did I simply miss those lectures that explained why I was learning the stupid adding x and y and why I'd need to know this for later?
