The mortgage lab we completed in math 1030 was a brief introduction to compounding interest,

15- and 30-year mortgages and how to determine the future value of a purchase. I quite enjoyed

this lab. It gave me a better understanding of where my money is going each month. I think this

project shows how math can be applied to the real world by using real world scenarios. Buying a

house is a goal that most Americans share and learning these financial equations Provide a

benefit of education that the consumer can use to make a sound decision on what loans to

consider and what type of purchase one could afford. Another application that you could use the

formulations for is when it comes to purchasing a car. Most people I know in the workforce do

seem to drive a car to work and have had to require a car loan and one point or another. Learning

how to determine your cost when it comes to a car purchase can help you determine if you can

not only afford the car payment, but the other fees associated with it. If I were a mortgage

broker, it would be important to explain the details of this mortgage lab to a client, so they

understood the risks of borrowing money from the bank. I would want my clients to realize that

there are multiple ways to pay off a mortgage, but with the minimum payment I would like them
to understand that they will be paying almost double for their house. If I were a mortgage broker,

I would like to educate my clients on ways that they could save themselves money and also

secure their financial future. When thinking about long-term or short-term mortgages deciding

how long you want to commit to your mortgage or location can affect your finances for years to

come. The difference between a 30 year and a 15-year mortgage can either cost or save you more

depending on your situation. A 15-year mortgage minimizes your total borrowing costs and

allows you to eliminate your mortgage debt quickly. A 30-year loan has a lower monthly

payment allowing you to save more for other goals and pay for unexpected expenses. No, this

assignment did not change my perspective on the importance of math. By doing this project it

has gave me more knowledge of what we can accomplish when using math and knowing how to

use equations. Not to mention the importance of equations, without them we would be lost in a

pile of numbers and letters. Although this module has expanded my knowledge on the

importance of finance. I have learned how to be able to solve problems using algorithms or

formulas and communicate methods of solutions and solutions to problems for the clarity of the

receiver.
