Math, The Constant Tool
By Scott Watson

Although it can be hard to see how math is used in everyday life, it’s actually one of the few tools that a person will employ their entire life span. Cooking, construction, and taking medicines all include mathematics. Some forms of math are much more common then others. For example, addition and subtraction are used much more than complex algebraic equations. But this does not mean that any form of math is more important than another. All branches of mathematics are equally important, each having it’s own job. I believe in my future I will constantly be doing mental math, obviously I will employ mathematics for the rest of my education, but even when it finishes, I’m still going to need it. Aristotle once said, “There are things which seem incredible to most men who have not studied mathematics.” Truly, one who is not well versed in math is bound to be stumped by simple quotients and equations, but someone who is educated will see opportunities instead of problems. Not only do I want to be prepared for the future and it’s trials, I expect myself not only to be able to answer them, but to exceed. Only through mathematics will I achieve my goal.
