In summary, the speaker is looking for two people who can provide references for how math is used in their major, Physics, for a college paper. However, they are having trouble finding professionals in their area who are willing to be interviewed. They already know the answer and could write the essay themselves, but they must follow the classroom rules. They are asking for help and thanking the audience for their time.

For a paper in my college math class I need to interview 2 people that can give me reference for how math is used in my major. The problem is, I live in southern Utah and Physics professionals of any kind are about as common as leprechauns. I need at least two people who don't mind being used as a reference in a college paper to give a statement about how mathematics effects Physics. I know the answer already and can probably write a five page essay on the matter by myself, but alas, one must follow the rules of the classroom. Any help is extremely appreciated, and thank you for your time.
