Math or no math
You are currently reading a thread in /adv/ - Advice
So here's the deal. After school I want to go and study film (directing, producing, editing, etc). When it comes to mathematics I get bad grades and I hate it, and I'm not sure if I'm actually going to need it for my career. Is it worth the risk to not study maths as an essential subject? I feel like I'm limiting myself if I don't study it, but if I fail the course then it'll seriosuly effect my chances of getting into a university. What do I do anons?

You will use math every day of your life (if you know how to use it). You'd be severely limiting your options if you went without.

90% of any film job is raising money, applying for grants, fixing budgets, and the like. Does any of that sound vaguely related to math?
Oh, and learn the difference between AFFECT and EFFECT. It might come up.
Basic algebra is baseline for everything you do in life. Everything else is optional.

you don't need math to go into film, but honestly you can put in way less work in a math course, there aren't 2000 word essays and shit
spend some time on khanacademy during your summer and youll realize it's actually really simple, it just seems hard on the outset
