Love Video Games?

Then It’s Time To Love Math

This isn’t your average “how gaming can be used to teach and reinforce math” article. I think and hope by now that it is common knowledge that gaming and math go hand in hand. This article specifically addresses the amount of math that is used in a simple computer game and helps answer the big “why do I need math” question that I hear so often.

Full disclosure:

• I have a math degree.
• I have a math website.
• I love math.
• And, to boot, I am a big gamer.

That may make me a little more biased towards math and gaming than a lot of people but it also gives me insight into just how much math is used in games.
