One of the pleasures of being an engineer parent is when your kids come home with math homework. It's an opportunity to flex parts of your brain that haven't been exercised in decades. (Never mind the depression/anger that arises when the teacher gives the parent a bad grade.)
But it gets even better when you are able to tell them that this ridiculous concept that they're learning really can be used in real life, if they get into certain professions.
This series will be a journey of answering the question, "When will I ever need to use ?". It will be populated by real life examples that I encounter during the course of my job and my sons' math-lete adventures.
