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.
