I want to show pupils at an age of 14 to 17 and who do not like math what they can use analysis/analytic geometry in a job.
I could not remember an impressive example for most topics. Let's assume that pupils who are not convinced by maths yet will accept not to study physics or maths too. Hence I am looking for something like "A pilot calculates xx with the derivation of yy".
In which jobs do people use one of the following topics?
- exp(x)
- derivation
- integration
- curve sketching
Actuaries use exp(x), derivation, and integration to find probabilities of risk in insurance policies. Engineers use math software to make sketches of surfaces and shapes in 3D. Physicists use integration and derivation to find work, mass using density functions, etc..
