Why do I have to learn this? When will I ever use this knowledge again?
We have all asked ourselves these questions before, particularly in the often daunting field of mathematics. Well, here is your chance to get some answers. You are going to take a look at four different occupations and learn how each of them use math in their everyday work. There are many, many occupations where math is used on a regular basis although we may not even realize it. The occupations I have chosen and assigned for you are fields where a strong mathematical background is necessary, as well as the ability to be a critical thinker and problem solver. After you complete this project, I don't ever want to hear "Why do I have to know this?" again! And who knows, just maybe you'll find your future calling.....
