How mathematics relate to my career

I am unsure as to what I want to do with my life, but I do know it involves law enforcement. So if I do decide to pursue a career in law enforcement, I will need math when I am tracking the various locations of criminals. I will need to know exact locations and how to use geometric shapes to figure out what angle to take attack a criminal.

quantitive reasoning student survey

My name is Anne Duchemin , my major is Marketing Management and I am a transfer from St. Johns University . I am currently still a freshman. I would use to class to utilize my math skills and imply them in marketing strategies that include price, and target market. This class to me is an overview of math i have learned in high school. I use quantitive resigning in everyday life when I’m counting money, or figuring out if my bossed payed me enough for all the hours i worked.

College Tuition Costs Soar: Chart of the Day

Percentage increase in consumer prices, web

Aug. 18 (Bloomberg) — The cost of higher education has jumped more than 13-fold in records dating to 1978, illustrating bloated tuition costs even as enrollment slows and graduates struggle to land jobs.

The CHART OF THE DAY shows that tuition expenses have ballooned 1,225 percent in the 36-year period, compared with a 634 percent rise in medical costs and a 279 percent increase in the consumer price index.

Recent college graduates might be questioning whether they’re getting what they paid for. Unemployment among those 25-to 34-years old rose to 6.6 percent in July, exceeding the 6.2 percent rate for all groups. The jobless rate for that age group averaged 5 percent in the four years leading up to the last recession.

In summary, the graph is trying to portray that costs have risen but not always is something being done.
