How does this paragraph sound?

And still the power of these two subjects, math and science, is greater when combined. Scientists use a huge amount of math in their work and applied mathematicians have to think about real life applications when working on problems. The development of technology isn’t even fathomable without science and math. For instance, the car making industry isn’t just making pretty cars that spontaneously have great gas mileage and are durable. People have to design a car that is not only fuel efficient, but to where it can withstand car crashes. Cars have to be safe before car companies can even dream of selling them. There are people who sit and predict the force of impact of a car crash and use physics to reduce it in order to improve our safety for when we drive a car. Similarly, the manufacturing of canned food, as well as other things that need to last a long period of time, require quite a bit of math and science. Machines have to be tested over and over again in order to meet certain standards set by the FDA and be able to properly preserve the food in the cans. They have to be able to seal the cans and avoid contamination; otherwise it’s not safe for us to eat. There are other uses of science and mathematics. Roller coasters for example, require knowledge of physics and statistics. Roller coasters have to be designed in a way that is safe for humans to ride. To be safe roller coasters have to be tested in order to meet a certain level of safety so people know they are safe. Science, as well as mathematics, is a huge part of our daily lives as well as in the small enjoyments of our lives.
