I just wanted to point a link over at Chad Orzel's blog post Algebra and Circuit Breakers. He gives an example of how "mathematical reasoning"-- that is, the reasoning used to factor a polynomial-- is the same kind of reasoning you need to solve some situations that can come up in everyday life.
This is Rob Knop's blog about physics, astronomy, science & society, general geekery, and anything else he is inspired to rant about. Rob Knop is a member of the faculty of Quest University in Squamish, British Columbia. However, everything he says here he is solely responsible for, and nothing should be construed to be the opinion of any current, former, or future employer of Rob Knop.
