Or you were just shit at maths and don’t have any idea how useful it is because you avoid it like the plague.

I’m guessing that you were one of those “I won’t ever use all this math” kind of students?

Boy do I ever use maths at work all the damn time.
And I’m a mechanic

I was one of those students who asked how it would be used, the teachers didn’t do the whole real world application part, and I never needed to go past trig.
I work with engineers and use math like any other human on the planet but really wish mathematics was taught differently to make it more interesting. You hear a PHD candidate talk about the hairy ball problem and the math is interesting. Math class never was.
