He is an Energy dude who works with major real estate tycoon types (think 90’s Donald Trump but not fucking evil maniacs). He works as a consultant for Fortune 500 companies who are building…

Math Can Be Hard

Most of the math that we need to do starts and stops at addition and subtraction. Sometimes we jump into multiplication for large orders with multiple dresses, but that isn’t very often. Strangely, the other day we needed to do something with transformations. Maybe it was just helping our son with his homework, maybe it wasn’t. Who can say? Certainly…
