      One can use probability while playing cards. My PhD supervisor says she used to use maths when playing poker 😀
      Our ears and ears are continuously performing Fourier transform to enable us to see and hear the way we do. That’s fun 🙂
      And once we are able to learn and use the Fourier transform we can use it in image and video processing (the stuff that really is behind photo editing and filters), in audio and other signal processing.
      You can use the Fibaonacci series for creating artwork which can be fun 🙂

      I recently started learning how to solve a Rubik’s cube, which is just learning algorithms
