In yesterdays class, Professor Antosz mentioned that we will notice that math pops up in almost every daily occurrence. For example, this morning in Science 80-327 we conducted a lab on the frequency of occurrence. Though this was a science - field based experiment, the majority of the work involved mathematics. Documenting the frequency of the occurrences, numerating the fraction of occurrences per trial and finding the percentage of occurrences.
I believe that I have taken for granted the amount of mathematics that I am fortunate enough to have engrained in me. I have roughly a 1hour drive to the University each day. However, with the amount of congestion on Huron-Church, I need to give myself an extra 10-15 minutes. I check the time at home and with simple arithmetic, I am able to deduce what time I need to be on my way out the door.
These simple instances demonstrate a little how often math pops up. I am looking forward to noticing more of these occurrences. As well, I am excited to have the opportunity to teach J/I students the math concepts that help me in my day to day life.
