Pick some unrelated lectures, they said.

It will widen your horizon, they said. And here I was, foolishly thinking I could get away with half-assing statistics during my degree.
My wife did more statistics in her psychology degree than I did in engineering.
Engineering formulas be like
"So there was this guy in 1896 and he did a bunch of trials and he figured out that a+b*x/c² is close enough to the real results, with values for a in range 1-2 and b in range 3-4. We still don't understand why, or how he got there, but it worked ever since."
Scientists want to understand things. Engineers don't care, as long as it works.
It always got me that the maths I was doing in electrical engineering outclassed what my friend was doing for his astrophysics degree. He was probably at the better university too (Debatable for the subjects in question, but both really good).
Did I need that level of maths? No, but it was compulsory for the first 3 years so not much option.
