Do we need math?

Do we need math?

So, the other day I found out I am a genius by Facebook standards, haha. Wow hey? It all began when a friend shared one of those math questions with images instead of numbers. They are designed to make you look really clearly at the objects themselves, and then continue on to use an equation to complete the task. I am pretty good at observation in general, so found that part no big deal. Then, it came to finishing the resulting equation. I am okay at that part to, since my mom was a teacher.

What was I doing in this room again?

So, the inspiration for this column, and possibly a book later on, came actually from a book I was reading the other day. It was called, Who Killed What’s-Her-Name. In the story the main character is planning on writing a book about how to jog a faulty memory. It gives all kinds of tips that I am sure we could find useful in the event of a memory fail. Things included were; a pencil is a girl’s best friend, make lists, a large calendar, and tips to rhyme or associate people’s names in your mind.
