Math model proves that taking summer classes in college pays off BIG
It may sound counterintuitive but working during your college summer breaks could actually be costing you a fortune and our mathematical model proved it. In this week's video we use estimations simple algebra to build a model in spreadsheets to analyze just how much money college students are missing out on by taking summer breaks and graduating in 4 years versus taking classes through the summer and graduating in 3 years.

Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”
We use unique topics for algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and much more and go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.
