Re: Math in careers
It would probably be wise for me not to post in this thread as I'm not very good with math/math concepts but, I have a couple of thoughts regarding it.
I googled 'math and art' and 'math and philosophy'. There are many links.
Math is everywhere and can be applied, used, studied - in many ways. It is likely limitless. I began losing my fear of math when I began quilting. Many of the quilt blocks are geometric by design and it is easy for me to work in color and fabric and apply the math skills needed in order to create a quilt. I've since discovered that there are geometry teachers who use quilts as one method of teaching geometry, helping students understand and apply those concepts.
In my adult years, I have learned to have tremendous respect for all the areas of math and how math affects our decisions, daily lives, careers/career choices and the ways in which it can and does impact the world and beyond. It's good to be respectful rather than fearful - then it becomes easier to grasp.
