This is part 3 of the series "Why Learn Math?" This clip presents real-life situations that have actually happened in which math was/is necessary or helpful. These situations cover topics such as home-improvement, fair treatment on the job, parenting, projects, purchasing a home, etc. - things that are part of the lives of most people. (Again, for further information, I highly recommend the one-page opinion piece by Arthur Michelson (click here to go to it) and the fantastic book by John Allen Paulos titled Innumeracy.)
