Hello Mr. McCready, my name is Derek Moore, and we're doing a project in my Calculus class. We have to do this report on how trig is used in the "real world," and I chose pool. So, we have to interview a pro, so would you mind if I asked you a few questions? They are:
1)How long have you been playing pool?
2)How often do pool players use trigonometry in their game?
3)When using the trig, how do you determine the correct angle?
4)Being so good at trig, do you ever use it outside of pool?
5)On average, how much would a professional pool player make?
6)How long did it take for you to be able to do the all of the math in your head?
7)Does someone teach you that, or did you have to learn from experience?
8)Do professional pool players have a job outside of pool?
9)Does being a pool player help you in any other areas of profession?
10)Finally, would you prefer any other profession that uses trig?
Thank you so much.
