Body
I'm not looking for a general discussion on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/157354/is-mathematics-necessary-for-programming">if math is important or not for programming</a>. Instead I'm looking for real world scenarios where you have actually used some branch of math to solve some particular problem during your career as a software developer. In particular, I'm looking for concrete examples.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
