Not all students have a literary mind; in fact, only about half of them do. Having a scientifically based mind is no better or worse than the alternative. Its hard to ima
15、gine that all the students are learning history and literature while no one study science and mathematics. If this was the case, a major portion of the worlds knowledge would be lost. Science and mathematics students are constantly making important breakthroughs in their fields of research. If the n

17、iety.In fact, students should be encouraged to take all subjects because there is no way of measuring which coursesare better than others. Everything a person can study has its own unique value. Whether this value is based on personal beliefs or the beliefs of society at large, everything is importa
18、nt in some way or another. Moreover, most academic disciplines are in fact interrelated. For example, historians sometimes have to employ some statistical knowledge while they are doing their research. At the same time, computer programmers will have a better understanding of their field if they are
19、 familiar about the history of computer science.One must take the courses one finds interesting, and not base his/her decisions on what others say are important. History and literature can be seen as a link to the past, whereas science and mathematics can be viewed as a link to the future. In this s
