Arithmetic for fun and profit
- A blog post written four years ago discussed using simple solutions like division and multiplication for client problems.
- The author recalled a conversation with a friend where division was highlighted as a key recommendation.
- During a recent deposition, the author had to explain using a ratio to arrive at a number in a report.
- It was mentioned that sometimes more complex solutions are needed despite the actual solution being simple.
- In another instance, the author was asked to calculate car momentum using mass and velocity, which involved multiplication.
- The author declined the car momentum project suspecting there was more complexity to the problem.
- Real-world problems can be more intricate despite seemingly simple solutions at times.
- Complicated solutions may be needed, such as cepstrum analysis, or simple arithmetic may suffice.
- The post reflects on different scenarios where arithmetic plays a role in problem-solving.
- Sometimes the journey to a solution is complex, or the nature of the problem itself is inherently complicated.
- The key takeaway is that arithmetic, whether simple or complex, can be a valuable tool in addressing various challenges.
- This post on 'Arithmetic for fun and profit' was originally published on John D. Cook's blog.
