MATH IS....

Math is many things. Math is going out to the golf courseand knowing how far the hole is and dicifering what kind of club you need. Math is going out to buy a car and remembering to multiply the principle by the rate by the time or I=prt. Math is skateboarding and remembering what angles to do your tricks at and what degree you have to do your sping at. Math is going out to shop and remembering to add the tax and remembering to subtract the coupons and discounts. Math is going out to dinner and remembering to give an 18-20% tip out your whole meal to your waiter. Math is going to a meeting and showing them all your different graphs of your companies ups and downs, increases and decreases, improvments and disprovments. Math is cooking and knowing how much of a teaspoon of that certain ingredient you need to complete your dish. Math is eating a pizza and knowing how much of a sample you took from the whole. Math is taking a survey and being ableto translate it into agraph and then being able to translate that graph into all kinds of forms of information. Math is being a set designer and being able totake something frome one scale and being able to change it to asmaller or bigger scale. Math is almost everything around us,and whats wierd is that we do these things all the time and we don't even know we're doing math. So, the next time youdo one of these things remember that your using math, just in a fun way. Because, Math is all around you.
