Travel / Tourism

When Dr. Christian Heesch was a young boy, he learned a lot about math by watching football with his father. On Sundays, when they would watch their favorite teams play on television, he would learn how to estimate distance based on the length of a play. His father would quiz him on the differences in scores, and ask him to quickly figure out how many more minutes were left in the game as a mental exercise.
