On September 20, 2016, John W. Burton talked about, Using Math in the Real World: what your professors won’t tell you about life after graduation. John Burton talks about his experiences after he graduated from Longwood University on how he used his degree in mathematics. First, he talks about bucket of marbles and goes thru what an athlete, art, and math majors would do with the marbles. Each major would do something different with the marbles athlete would play a game, art major would make a sculpture, and as math major we would count and organize them then find the probability for the different marbles.
