Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!?
HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoA few years ago when I was in college, I would’ve been able to solve that equation probably but that information has since left my brain lol.

Yup same, i looked it up and it all came back. However, it’s still a completely useless knowledge in my normal adult life, though i’m a software engineer

Calc was extremely useful to me as an industrial engineer and thank fuck I only have to understand it instead of actually doing it in my profession

Much of the math I learned was memorizing steps. If it came up in real life I probably wouldn’t be able to piece all necessary info into an equation. Even a word problem is assumed to include the minimum. I am not a software engineer nor a programmer (yet) I am learning python supposedly a good precursor since my bg is in web design. The way i see it, all forms of logic while they don’t have a direct applied use in my life, serve as an exercising of my mind and can help understand inconsistencies and other logic/reasoning concepts. They are indirectly related.

i totally agree, it’s still good problem solving skill
