Have you (or your students) ever wondered “when am I ever going to use this math topic”? If so, you came to the right place!
There are so many things we use all the time that makes our lives better, including:
- electronics (computers, tablets, and more)
- insurance
- mail and package deliveries
- manufacturing
- medicine
- weather forecasting
- wireless communications (phones and WiFi)
None of these things would be possible without mathematics. From complex numbers and statistics to averages and trigonometric functions, math concepts help to power numerous technologies and ideas.
