BREAKING NEWS!!!
Math is everywhere and yet, we may not recognize
it because it doesn't look like the math we did
in school. Math in the world around us sometimes
seems invisible. But math is present in our world
all the time--in the workplace, in our homes, and
in life in general. When you buy a car, follow a
recipe, or decorate your home, you're using math
principles.

• Without math, very little science would be
  possible. Science relies on math both to describe
  predictions about the relationships between
  real-world phenomena and to test those
  predictions. Even fields like ethics rely heavily
  on mathematics (ethics draws on game theory
  specifically the prisoner's dilemma.The beauty of
  mathematics, however, is that it does not have to
  work only within the confines of the known real
  world. In the broadest sense, if scientists
  attempt to explain our universe, then
  mathematicians try to explain the workings of
  every possible universe. Clearly, mathematics has
  much more to offer than algebra, geometry, and
  functions courses you've had in school!
