Welcome special guest Santa Claus Frazz: "Santa Claus" called. He got a last-minute audition for a duffy's donuts commercial. It was good of you to support an aspiring actor, though.

I ALWAYS use my math in entrepreneurial situations. Like at lunch or dinner, I’m the guy who can figure out who owes how much or the tip…in my head. No electronic device interaction. Just the grade-school math tables, and being a kind of guy that engineers feel sorry for because i’m not one, and like, because I can schmooze and get stuff for them and their departments.

Oh, poor child. You will need math someday if only to balance your checking statement. Imagine trying to figure out how much mulch to order for a planting bed 15 feet by 6 feet so that it covers to a depth of 3 inches, imagine trying to assess how much paint you’ll need to cover the walls of your bedroom, imagine trying to figure out compound interest…. Math is all around you.

You may not use "higher"math much, but you use math all the time without thinking about it. (And re: Cadi’s comment: where would Captain America and his shield be without geometry?"
