Matt Hoochie my volleyball goddess and dancing queen is in college. Like most former exotic dancers, she is working to become a dental hygienist. In any case, she has been taking some math courses and I have been tutoring her. The other day we were talking about basic math concepts and she relayed to me something I think computer geeks and users everywhere should keep in mind. It is very simple.
Computers use it constantly.
I know many of you are not highly sophisticated computer geeks like Ramon and I, but I will give you a few examples. When you ask your computer to send an email, it has to go through a function of calculating routes and passages to deliver said email. This involves extensive use of geometric calculations, involving both the circumference and surface area of the Earth, as well as the shape and amplitude of the Earths orbit around the Sun. In extreme circumstances the software must also take into account the cycles of the moon as well. The same thing happens whenever you browse to a web site.
