Math is a subject that you don't understand why you need it till you see real-world applications for it, especially higher-level math. Rather than teaching math in a way where you solve equations, students need to be taught to 'think' mathematically, similar to mental models. In fact, a good number of mental models have a strong grounding in mathematics. Seeing the world as a set of mathematical problems gives you a leg up on a number of things.
