Help Students Master Math with Infobase

From turning on a light switch, to taking life-saving medicine, to making phone calls on computers small enough to fit in our pockets, we rely on technologies of all sorts every day. In fact, we rely on them so regularly, we often take them for granted—and they only seem to get better as time goes on. And, that’s not even going into the technologies that help us improve our understanding of our world and the universe it inhabits, from the simplest school microscope to the James Webb Space Telescope. Yet, any scientist or inventor will tell you that no new technologies would ever exist without mathematics. Space travel would be impossible without calculus, and math is a key part of any architecture or construction projects. Math is a key part of medicine, too, as being able to calculate and measure out the correct dosage of a drug can make the difference between life and death. Being able to make the right calculations, measurements, and estimates makes technology possible.

5 Hobbies to Put on Your Résumé

Hobbies and interests can be great additions to your résumé—if they demonstrate skills or attributes relevant to the position you’re applying for. What follows are five hobbies that could make your résumé stand out among the crowd of applicants. 1. Speaking or Studying a Second Language Knowing more than one language can make you instantly more employable. Though there are some jobs where being multilingual is more important than others, knowing or studying a second language shows that you have dedication, passion, and drive—attributes that employers often look for in potential hires. Of course, knowing a second language also typically requires good communication skills, which are essential in almost every profession. 2. Taking Part in a Sport or Physical Activity Exercise is a great way to keep fit and look after your physical and mental wellbeing, but it can also look good on your résumé. Team sports can showcase skills like teamwork, communication, tenacity, and even risk management. And don’t forget to mention if you’re the captain or coach of a team, as this demonstrates your ability to lead others. Individual sports look great, too! Whether you run, cycle, surf, play golf, or swim, these activities also show commitment, self-motivation,
