"Forensic scientists use mathematical principles to figure out the location of the victim when blood was shed and even the type of weapon or impact that caused the victim's injury. Sometimes, blood from a weapon can even indicate the criminal's mentality."
FACT: "It is impossible to analyze forensic evidence scientifically without math. One of the main things crime scene investigators do is collect, measure and document evidence. Their data help forensic scientists perform calculations and determine the facts of a crime. Math makes it possble to show proof of what occured during a crime in data and numbers."
Math Required: College Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus I and II, Statistics
