With the prodigious advancements in computing technology, I can't help but wonder; why bother leaning mathematics when a computer can calculate large, complicated numbers in record speed?

Wouldn't it make sense to focus on subjects computers are incapable of comprehending and leave the maths to machines?

Because that's not what high-level math is about.

Someone needs to tell the machine what to do first

Because you undestand neither math nor comp-sci.

>complicated numbers

U wot m8? The only "complicated" number is a lone zero.

High level math isn't just about computing large complicated numbers, there's a fuckton of abstract shit that computers can never precisely calculate and so they just estimate. Even if it was all stuff that a machine could do perfectly, you would still need someone who understands the subject first to tell the machine how to do it.
