Attempting to optimize my LinkedIn profile, I came across this informative article:

On the commute back to Sacramento for the beginning of my MBA program, I went through my reading assignments for Business Statistics and read about the power of numbers in defining the algorithms of online searches. Although math never being my strong-suit, the practicality of the science has always intrigued me. You always hear people say, "what is the point of learning algebra when I am never going to use it again after this class," but - in my opinion - this is absolutely untrue. Math has endless uses in every aspect of life, whether it is to determine the viability of a business idea or the chances of your favorite sports team winning this year. Systematically making sense of the numbers can help you make better decisions, however, I also believe in balancing logic with intuition. No matter how you assess the probability of your success in the stock market, for example, one must also trust their instincts.
