Math students often question why they need to learn math topics, especially when they (sometimes correctly) think that they will never use these ideas in their "real lives." We will focus on actual (and some humorous) math applications in movies, TV, literature, legal trials, sports, Internet security, puzzles, games, and so on. Many resources provided.
