Mr. Miller wanted us to realize that everything in this world revolves around some sort of math. So, he had us research anything we wanted, cars, duct tape, anything we were interested in. We had to figure out how our thing worked. We also had to find an equation relating to our “thing.” In my [...]
Brett Gurewitz: The Story of Epitaph
Mr. Miller had us research an entrepreneur and make a presentation on his/her life story and achievements.
