{\color{red}Abstract.}
What's the hardest math I've ever used in real life? Me, myself, directly -
not by using a cellphone or a GPS device that somebody else designed? And
in ``real life'' --- not while studying or teaching mathematics?

I use addition and subtraction daily, adding up bills or calculating
change. I use percentages often, though mostly it is just ``add 15
percents''. I seldom use multiplication and division: when I buy in bulk, or
when I need to know how many tiles I need to replace my kitchen floor. I've
used powers twice in my life, doing calculations related to mortgages. I've
used a tiny bit of geometry and algebra for a tiny bit of non-math-related
computer graphics I've played with. And for a long time, that was all. In
my talk I will tell you how recently a math topic discovered only in the
1800s made a brief and modest appearance in my non-mathematical life. There
are many books devoted to that topic and a lot of active research. Yet for
all I know, nobody ever needed the actual formulas for such a simple reason
before.

Hence we'll talk about the motion of movie cameras, and the fastest way to
go from A to B subject to driving speed limits that depend on the locale,
and the ``happy segway principle'' which is a the heart of the least action
principle which in itself is at the heart of all of modern physics, and
finally, about that funny discovery of Janos Bolyai's and Nikolai Ivanovich
Lobachevsky's, that the famed axiom of parallels of the ancient Greeks need
not actually be true.

$\bullet$ In small scale, $\pi^H\to\pi^E$.
  In large scale, $\pi^H\to\infty$.
\quad$\bullet$ The sum of the angles of a triangle is always less than
  $\pi$. In fact, sum$+$area$=\pi$, so the largest possible area of a
  triangle is $\pi$.

  you know it.

  better remember your way back well!
