For the Love of Math – Fascinating TED Talks on Math
For the majority of us, Math or Maths is this rather dreary, arbitrary, very abstract subject that we occasionally apply when we’re out shopping.
Seriously though, how many people actually use algebra, quadratic equations, and calculate the slope of a line in their daily lives, unless they actually work in fields that require these – in which case, they probably would not find math dull at all!
Still, these TED talks show us a side of Math that can be correlated to almost anything – Love, Wall Street, Origami, Magic even History and Basketball!
