Question How can I justify my eagerness to learn mathematics to office people?

[prabha_friend]

Hi,
Our office has a budget for trainings. But on one condition: It should improve/helpful/ or atleast useful to the current works we do on our team (VBA Development using Access/Excel). I know without the word 'Mathematics' there is no such word called 'Engineering' (all sort of). The problem is How to justify myself? They are asking for a Business case wherever it will prove it useful. What to do?

God bless MBAs and HR, where would our world be without them?

This is a good life lesson for everyone: when someone makes it know that they want you to BS and lie to them, its perfectly acceptable to BS and lie to them.

This is 2015, I bet you can Google for what you want, plagiarize what you find and give it to them. If you want to write it yourself, hit on these concepts/keywords:

Statistics
Algorithm optimization
Derivations
Boolean logic

And know your audience, lots of jerkoff words:

Utilize
Behoove
Paradigm
Synergy

And I add statistical analysis of your company's data, if possible.
