Data and Graph:
The data and graph above show how many times during a normal school day that I use algebraic logic to discover solutions to non-math problems (I had to come up with something!). The numbers in the HOUR list apply to the class periods of the day.
Equation: Dobutamine Infusion Rate=x
Dobutamine is a medical substance used to treat various heart conditions. The equation for measuring the infusion rate is usually done by hand, though it can be executed via calculator.
x=(Weight in kilos (w))*(micrograms (m))*60)/2000
Example: W=75 and M=5
X=(75*5*60)/2000
X=(22500)/2000
X=11.25~11

Notice: A few of these are calculator-related, but the concepts applied in all of them have some sort of base in mathematics, and in some cases Algebra. Example: In order to get a doctoral degree you must have some experience in mathematics, and more specifically Algebra II (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics).
