Money and Math

• In dealing with money, we all know the basics
  as to how math is involved. Money requires
  counting, adding, subtracting, and so on. This
  is an easy one just to get started.
  
  

11
Loans and Math

• When thinking of loans and math, things get a
  little more complicated. Did you ever think of
  how they decide who gets a loan besides just
  looking at your credit? They have people called
  actuaries who who look at statistics and charts
  to try to figure out how good of a bet you are.
  
  

12
Interest and Math

• When looking at interest, everyone knows that
  you try to find the smallest one so that you have
  to pay less. Here is another way to look at
  interest. When you make a payment of 200 on your
  loan and your interest is 10, you are paying 20
  to interest and 180 to the actually money that
  you borrowed.
  

13
Maps and Math

• When looking at road maps of cities and towns,
  the distance is not measured as a straight line
  from points A to B, at least not since the
  invention of the road. You have to have to take
  in consideration turns in the road. The geometry
  devoted to this is called taxicab geometry. It
  makes you wonder if you can really circle a
  block, or is it square?

14
Demographics and Math

• The people at City Hall have the
  responsibility to the public to provide such
  information. This is what some people look at
  trying to decide when to move to a town. It
  covers areas such as race, religion, education,
  and others depending on the town. All of these
  areas are looked upon as being percentage of the
  whole population.

15
Population and Growth and Math

• Population, many cases, is changing constantly
  in communities. City Hall has the responsibility
  of keeping track of it so that it can adjust
  accordingly. Using math along the growing
  numbers, they must predict what thing will be
  needed in the future so that we have them in
  time, such as schools and social service
  buildings.

16
Insurance and Math

• For the most part, mathematicians do. This
  is another job that an actuary can get. Again,
  they analyze your data and compare it with
  others. For example, if you are 40 years old and
  a smoker, these are things that they categorize
  you by. They look at the statistics of other 40
  year olds and other smokers to determine what
  kind of insurance they will give you, if any.

17
Classes and Math

• Whether you want to or not, if you plan to
  graduate from a four year university, you will
  have to take some math. Some students might just
  have to take the three hours of math required at
  most schools while others will have to take
  remedial classes before taking the one that will
  actually count.

18
GPA and Math

• You might want to figure you GPA to check
  eligibility for a scholarship, to see if you have
  a chance at a certain college, or just to check
  if you are still in good standing. In college,
  you will receive letter grades where A4, B3,
  C2, D1, and F0. You multiply your grade times
  the amount of hours credit. Add these up and
  divide by the total number of hours.

19
Loans and Math

• Student loans are the way that most college
  students pay for school. Once again, actuaries
  are the ones who compile the data that decides
  whether you get a loan and, if so, how much and
  at what interest. Once again this is based on
  your credit or your parents credit and, in the
  case of financial aid, your need for the loan.

20
Business, Money, and Math

• Money is the thing that helps get a business
  going good math skills along with other things,
  like having customers, is what keeps it going.
  As with the bank, there is counting, adding, and
  subtracting involved. How important is that
  cashiers know how to count or for the owner to
  know how much money they have left to spend.

21
Inventory and Math

• Records of what goes in and out of a store or
  business must be carefully kept. There are all
  sorts of time frames that businesses follow for
  inventory, such as daily, monthly, or even
  yearly. Percentages are then estimated as to
  actual purchases, loses, and stolen material.
  These will affect how the business budget will
  be distributed.

22
Tax and Math

• In our state, a sales tax is added on to most
  of the items that we buy in the store. It is
  currently at 8.25 but can change. In order to
  figure the tax that will be added on, just take
  the amount of your purchase times .0825 and that
  will be the tax total.

23
Measuring and Building

• Before builders go out to do a road, railroad,
  or building, they must first do a lot of
  calculations. With all of these, detailed
  measuring must take place as to where they will
  go. With railroads, careful consideration must
  go into the angle of the turns so that the train
  will not flip over. With buildings, they must
  also look at the angle from the ground so that it
  is 90 degrees.

24
Loans and Math

• Did you ever think of how they decide who gets
  a loan besides just looking at your credit? They
  have people called actuaries who look at
  statistics and charts to try to figure out how
  good of a bet you are. When dealing with a bank,
  they might check what your average account
  balance is. When dealing with the dealership,
  your credit is checked.

25
Interest and Math

• When looking at interest, everyone knows that
  you try to find the smallest one so that you have
  to pay less. Here is another way to look at
  interest. When you make a payment of 200 on your
  loan and your interest is 10, you are paying 20
  to interest and 180 to the actually money that
  you borrowed.

27
Measuring and Math

• Think for a minute about what requires
  measuring around your house. You use it when you
  cook with recipes, clean with a concentrated
  substance that you have to dilute, give liquid
  medicine, or even marking how tall you are on
  the wall.
