I use a calculated sine wave to generate models of convoluted foam! (I'm a packaging engineer). And multivariable calculus can be used to predict cushion curves!

I remember looking into engineering school and seeing packaging sciences and packaging engineering and thinking what, boxes?

Just the other day I took apart a very intricately put together box and I thought about it, and then I thought further about how everything comes in a box and how maybe I should've given that major some more serious thought. I wasn't good at giving things serious thought when I was 17 though.
