Does Your '360 Campaign' Need To Be a Perfect Circle?

Let's visit a ninth grade math class. You're learning the basics of geometry and discover that a circle has 360 degrees. If you add up the degrees of each angle in a four-sided figure, it's 360 degrees, as well. But on a more thematic level, the number 360 represents a route that might travel near or far but lands in the same place it started. Show More Summary

Who Actually Uses Maths At Work?

Let’s admit it together. We all kind of suck at maths. It’s OK! Numbers are evil.
