Do The Math, Go For Launch - Episode 9

Math is one of those subjects that you get, or it makes your eyes roll. But wait! Listen to how math teacher, Mrs. Karly Chasteen puts it. And wait, there's more - listen to what Bo Smith, a senior at Benjamin Franklin High School says about how his career plans have been launched. Almost literally!

Math, says Mrs. Chasteen was 'static' until calculus came along. In fact she admits it seemed boring to her until she got "the full picture" of what exactly it could do. "Calculus gives us to look at how things are changing - which is the real world." By this, she means the movement of water, or the flow of traffic. Even at Costco, where she once worked, she says they use math to understand customer volume. In this special episode, Trinity Wright brings together the teacher and the student, and lets you see why (and how) math fits into a classical school. Enjoy the show!
