[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [qb]One of the biggest surprises to me when I studied engineering was how applicable so much of the math that I had learned was. Unfortunately, many math teachers don't explain the usefulness of what they're teaching, leading students to assume it's yet another pointless exercise. For example, I remember laughing at the idea of imaginary numbers when I was first taught about them. It turns out that imaginary numbers actually have a practical use in fields like electromagnetism, signal processing, and vibration. Even the simple spring/damper system of a car's shock absorbers is described using imaginary numbers. [/qb][/QUOTE]That was one of my wife's peeves when she was growing up. She said her math teachers kept saying "Engineers use this all the time!", but couldn't give any examples. When she taught 7th & 8th grade math last year, she kept using me and my work as an example! :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
