It was a good line, my man. Props on it! I love that we can all shite talk here and get laughs.

I guess simple algebra.

If I have half a fifth of four roses and five 12 ounce beers do I need to walk to the corner store tonight?

Algebra and geometry. A quirk I have when driving thru a city interstate loop when the exit/mile marker goes from x to 1, is figuring how close I am to downtown using x= 2*pie*r and solving for the radius. Usually results of downtown (typically the center of the loop) are within one mile of the solved radius anywhere on the loop.

A lot of basic algebra. A decent amount of statistics. Calculus rarely.

basic math and algebra. I let others do calculus unless I get curious about something. Then I have to use google to find what kind of formula I need.

On a daily basis the math I’m doing is figuring up repair estimates and parts quotes. Usually it’s simple addition and multiplication. On some estimates I have to figure up discounts of varying percentages. Of course I do it all on a calculator.

Civil engineering checking in. Mainly do algebra, geom and trig. Very rarely some calculus with integrals and a derivative if looking at some geotech stuff.
