Should English Majors Study Maths? It is a common phenomenon that university students have to study some displines that almost have no relationship with their majors. Thus, an English major wrote his principle a letter and complained about that. To be exactly honest, as an English major too, I cannot agree with his point more that English-major students should not take math lesson which has nothing to do with their major. First of all, there is really not necessary for university English learners to study math. As undergraduates, we all have handled the basic math skills for our normal daily life like counting which we have been taught through the whole middle school and primary school. We don't seem to need advanced mathematics or calculus to live an ordinary life, which some English majors are required to learn. Apart from that, English majors don't seem to have enough time and energy to well master the math taught in their universities. Suppose that you are asked to do two things both pretty well at the same time, can you make it? Obviously, most of the answers will be no. And so do English majors. As their major, Studying English will certainly take most of their time and energy since they possibly cannot find a satisfactory job if they are not that good at their major. Therefore, the time left is definitely not enough for them to learn another subject. As what I mentioned above, I totally disagree that English majors are required to study math as there is no need for them to learn more math and they don't have enough time for studying math as well.
