As I suggested in the last post on this topic: examples.
They don't even have to be serious examples, but examples of how one might use the basic math, and hopefully examples that are easy to follow but not an obvious usage. For example, the time-to-genetic-fixation example might be: you have 20 friends, half of whom have a pet rock. How many years until pet rocks have drifted into extinction etc.
