College algebra or Math 107 was my mathematical requirement to obtain a B.A. in English. My first thought in having to take this class was “I’d never use it in my personal life.” But, this class has given me the confidence to produce quilt designs rather than having to follow written patterns. Math has expanded my horizons as a quilter and has given me the satisfaction of watching my designs come to life.
My college algebra professor, Dr. Brian Blitz, reminded his students that people use math everyday without even thinking about the computations of an algebraic problem. Whether it is substituting an ingredient in cooking or calculating the distance and time it takes for a ten mile run, both involve algebra. The completion of Math 107 has turned out to be a course that has enlightened my creative side, giving me the ability to take my quilting one step further.
