Grab a Calculus book and solve some random problems. It can get fairly entertaining. Solving how much rocket fuel you need to reach orbit or how fast a conical object will drain or the angle you need to fire a canon ball into a castle wall or something. I haven't found much use for Calculus though in regular life.

On a side note, we've been arguing about 48÷2(9+3) at the office today. There is a correct answer, of course, but also an argument (that some think is reasonable) against that answer.
