Cans and Mathematics
Some people empty their cans and then perform amazing calculations with them. The cylindrical container is ideal for differential calculus!
Some people are overcome by philosophical mathematical questions in the face of an innocent can: Why isn't the can square? or ball-shaped? What is the optimal relationship between volume and surface? Clever brains can work all that out - and it can even be fun!
