Students show how math, careers intersect in Math Awareness Month

Did you know math is used in poetry and in advertising?

The focus of this year’s Mathematics Awareness Month is how math drives careers, like writing poems and creating ads. City College math students have created a series of displays around campus, showcasing how mathematics is used in sports, fashion, physiology, music, advertising, nursing, robotics, poetry and other careers. Each display introduces a particular field, highlights its development and shows a series of visual examples of the application of mathematics within that field.

In one display titled “Mathematical Ideas In Advertising,” by advertising major Lauren Anderson, the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence are strategically used in the development of brand logos. Although these logos appear simple, the application of the ratio and the sequence make the logos quite memorable — the main idea behind good advertising.

Every year in April, the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics sponsors the awareness month to emphasize the significance, development and application of mathematics in a particular realm.

Several of the student displays can be found in the lobby of the Learning Resource Center.
