Real Lives

Most of us experienced Maths at school and probably fell into one of two groups, firstly those who could do well at it and liked it, and secondly those who couldn't get the hang of it and couldn't wait to stop having anything to do with it!

Since leaving school most of us in work, have discovered that in reality maths is used an awful lot in industry, commerce and almost every aspect of life, and consequently the majority of us wish we had tried just that little bit harder.
