Math can describe many things about a crime scene. Ladder marks in the ground will tell, with trig, the length of a ladder used to enter a building window. Wound cavity description, like surveying only smaller, can indicate the kind of bullet used to create such a cavity, the probable barrel length to impart required velocity sufficient to create such a cavity if the shooting distance is known. Skid marks on pavement often can yield fair approximations of vehicle speed prior to a sudden stop. This would be a crime scene if the sudden stop was against someone's body and the vehicle left prior to police arrival. Probability, a deeply mathematical arena, intuitively suggests that if 5 banks are robbed in an area that doesn't have lots of bank robberies, there's a new bad guy in town. chemical analysis, often featured on one of the CSI's, is reported with a mass spectromoter, or gas chromatograph. this device yields proportions of element information in parts per million. That is, I believe, one of the many ways math CAN be used in acquiring and identifying crime scene evidence. The list is limited only by imagination. It can't be.

Why do you need to know math to be a agent?
Well it depends on what agent it is FBI and Police you have to because you have to know how big a crime scene is, how far body parts have went from the center of the crime scene, etc. CIA you have to because they have to know the quickest and quietest way to get where they are going on a spy mission.
