Many artists today are in what is called applied art. They use

their ability in advertise, interior decoration, or some similar job.【1】__

But people in business which hire the artists for that kind of work 【2】__

say that simple artist ability is not enough. There are lots of young【3】__

people who have that. But not enough of them who know anything 【4】__

about physics, or mechanical things, or math.

To be a druggist you have to study chemistry. You can't learn

chemistry without knowing something about algebra.

How about a nurse？ One of the requiring subjects in a course of 【5】__

nursing is known to material medica. In materia me dica you'll 【6】__

learn how to figure out doses and prepare for medicines. Algebra is 【7】__

important in doing the figuring. Too many student nurses flunk out

of the course because of their weak math.

It's the same for many trades. If you want to be a crafts-man, 【8】__

a machinist, a molder, and a patternmaker, you'll need algebra and 【9】__

geometry and even trigonometry.

Even you want to go into business for yourself, you'll need 【10】__

math. Business today, whether it is running a little gas station or a

big factory, takes good management. Good management takes mathematics
