All four OOOs order of operations operations
I can run a calculator in my brain (obviously not instantly) but pretty much by a combination of estimation and refinement I can sort out most practical necessary features and can double check it with a calculator if needed.
I am currently in BRCC I am looking forward to algebra and if I could take trig I would its just not needed for my certificate in computer science.
I believe math flexes ones brain like nothing else can. My goal is to do what I do faster.

IMO, learning to play a musical instrument is one of the best ways to do this.
Playing cards too.

Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. I used to use a lot of calculus and differential equations but that was done by software packages not really by me. I’m an electrical engineer.
I actually don’t do this anymore because I’m retiring.

Calculus and differential equations, used for reaction engineering and distillation design as a Chem Eng. Now retired.
Now use Xcel to track garden yields, electricity consumption, tractor maintenance, etc.

Trig and geometry just about daily are all I do that's pretty much from memory. I work in industrial construction.
I've had to do some more complicated stuff but I just google how to do it and follow the steps.

Healthcare consulting. I am in the risk adjustment space so use basic business math but also use predictive analytics (my masters) a fair amount. However I definitely don’t use it like I could or should.

About 6th grade level. Math has no real relevance in my life.

Trig all day long. Software does most of it these days. But checking the software with a calculator is needed. Can't trust a computer

As my working years wind down,

I was a Draftsman for a few years out of HS, used all the math.

Geometry and Trig regularly. Algebra daily
Every few years I use calculus but that’s more for fun to try and figure integrals and calculate volumes if vessels.
Industry is Oil, Gas, and Chemicals refining.

MatLab goes and fetches all my problems.
MathWorks is a good trainer.
Complex solutions are sometimes required for simple problems.

Just basic math. I’m in outside sales so never really need to do much.

Basic math here-----multiplication, division, addition and subtraction with the addition of fractions when doing some woodworking projects in my shop.
Retired now, so things have dumbed down for me on a daily basis.

Differential equations, typically teaching it in the context of thermo or reaction kinetics.
