Opposed to all this, I love math and even if we are never going to use all the complexities in our syllabus. Well, actually those who are going to do some work in the mathematical field are the only ones benefited by Algebra, but for all others, this is just plain black ink dots.
But all crap aside, here I am telling you that Maths can make you rich.
If you ask why.... just take note of the Millennium Prize Problems. These are a set of 7 different Mathematical Problems which if solved by any individual can earn him $1,000,000. Yes, this is six zeros!
The problems are as follows (linked to their respective Wikipedia page):
1. P vs NP
2. The Hodge Conjecture
3. The PPoincarë Conjecture (solved)
4. The Riemann Hypothesis
5. Yang-Mills existence and Mass gap
6. The well-posedness of the Navier-Stokes equations
7. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture
These were listed by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000 and as of 2012, six of these remain unsolved. If you happen to solve any one of these, you'll be awarded the US$1,000,000 prize for your efforts.
A Russian Mathematician Grigori Perelman solved The PPoincarë Conjecture, but that wise man declined the price in 2010.
As I am not very good at maths, I will not go to the technical details. However, If your want to try your luck, just head over to the Wikipedia page of the problem of your choice.
At last, before you try your luck with the Millennium Prize Problems, make sure that you don't get this thought in mind --

Dear mathematics go up and solve your problems yourself..[/caption]Read more @ Millennium Prize Problems
