In high school, we'd always ask the teacher, “when would these abstract concepts be useful in real-life?” and the answers never felt satisfying. I wanted to take stock of ways math has been useful in my life:

1. quick calculation of tips;
2. used trigonometry in designing VR interfaces;
3. in plotting lines of curves to make tapered revenue-share agreements;
4. in financial modeling spreadsheets for investments;
5. to turn writing composition concepts into algorithms.
