MATH 1010

Maximizing an Advertising campaign

In this assignment, we were challenged to apply math to a real world example where there are stakes, in this case a business/client relationship. I did not feel this uncovered anything I did not know about math, but it did help cement for me that many details of a problem can be evaluated when you have the right mathematical tools and ask for the necessary values. This project did also confirm for me that not all problems are going to be solved mathematically--for instance the problem of uneven integers. This would need to solved by communicating with the client to get permission to round the number of ads. It would also be good to have this trick up your sleeve for multiple projects of a similar situation. By evaluating the values for patterns, it will make it easier for you to make estimations based on the information already on hand. This project was a great use of time and a good skill to have acquired.
