Your issues go beyond this event. If you want him to share equally in kid stuff, get a job.

I hold a degree and I used to work full time until I gave birth. If I get a job, I will probably be more respected at home but my son won't get the education he's been receiving every day from me. You cannot rely on schools for all the education.

Exactly. Why SHOULD he do this? I'd expect my husband to go, probably, but we're both equally involved in kid stuff.

Doesyour DH yells at you every time you ask him to attend to this kind of event?

I agree with PP, if it was a concert or something your child was involved in, that would be different. But you're talking about a math meeting.

Further, it sounds important for you to be there, not your DH, since you say you are the one who is providing him with the education he is getting.

He's frustrated because no matter what he says, you're calling him an asshole for basically pointing out that it's your job. If you want him to go, you go to his office and finish up whatever he has to do for that day while he goes. You're being ridiculous.

So many times he lied at me when he said he had a lot of work on a certain day. He went to meet a group of friends and a former professor. He can leave earlier from work to have a coffee but not to be involved in his child's education??? And I have to decline invitations from friends because I'm overloaded with real work?

Wait, so he's been getting education from you everyday because you can't rely on your school for all the education, yet you feel it's urgent/important for your DH to go WITH you to a school thing about teaching your child math from the same school you don't rely on to teach your kid for all his education?
