Issue 7: In the Name of Pi, Math in Our Lives
Starting with elementary school until we finish high school, and still pushed on us in college, is math. Why do we spend so much time studying the subject if our "careers" don't necessarily use it? We're going to delve into mathematics and look at how we use it in our daily lives, both in the ancient past and in the present: the use of zero, the discovery of geometry, pyramids, astronomy, you name it!

When we were younger, we used to always ask our teachers,<br />
“When will this ever help me <strong>in</strong> real life?”<br />
What we did not expect was that <strong>the</strong> subjects we learned<br />
<strong>in</strong> school would actually benefit our daily lives <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> future.<br />
Little did we know, this would even happen <strong>in</strong> what most <strong>of</strong> us<br />
would consider <strong>the</strong> most difficult subject: math.<br />
And not just basic math, but even full blown algebra<br />
would become someth<strong>in</strong>g we use <strong>in</strong> everyday life.<br />
Don’t believe me? Well <strong>the</strong>n check out <strong>the</strong>se five examples.<br />
