In general, the knowledge can be divided into two types: natural knowledge and social knowledge. Science and math are the important component of former, while art and literature are essential parts of the latter. In my opinion, both of these are very important to any individual. The reason goes as follows:

First, only complete knowledge can make a really knowledgable man/woman. We know that the world consists of not only the object studied by the subject like science and math, such as stars and flowers, but also consists of the beautiful and attractive things such as poems, paitings, which is studied by the subjects like art and literature. Lack of knowledge will lead to an imcomplete view about the world.

Secondly, the study subjects like art and literature are helpful for the development of subjects like science and math. There are some rules that goven both types of subject, the master of one subject may be beneficial to the development of another subject. It is because of this reason that many great people are great artists as well as a scientists. It is known that Einstein played well in violin while he is acknowledged as a great physicist. It is believed by some people that grasp both types of knowledge is essential for anyone wish to be successful in the new millenium.

Ofcourse, the study of science and math is very important. It is the study of them produce our modern society. However, an additional master of art and literature will make our life more colorful, and even more successful.
