I think what he means is that it has little practical application for most people's everyday use.
I love physics, and yes, calculus is pretty essential to physics, but to the average person, its pretty useless.

lol, this is hilarious.
I remember when we were doing some basic calc and geometry stuff back in high school and a friend asked the teacher why we bother doing all this stuff.
His response was along the lines of: "well, maybe one day you might want to build a bridge"
It was extremely funny at the time, mainly cause of his tone of voice and the way he said it.
Also, aside from practical applications, maths provides a very good way of clearly thinking about logic and how things purely work. very good for your thought processes and ways of thinking. Well i think?
anyway, i love math and am relativley good at it i guess? although i haven't done any hardcore stuff since first yeart of uni when we were doing all the fundamental engineering units.
