And here I spent two years of high school insisting to my parents that “there IS no practical use for Algebra!”

(that was before I studied radio engineering and learned that FM Stereo is basically a quadratic equation...DOH!)

I thought I would get away with not being any good at math by being a carpenter. DOH!

Thankfully more of it stuck in my brain than my grades in school would indicate.

I did the same thing and 3 months after Graduation I was playing Catch-up because my new Occupation required Trig and Calc

The Military really did open my eyes in more ways than I could have imagined... God Bless the United States Navy!

Yeah, a little algebra following a space transformation... Leads the public to believe it’s as easy as figuring out which train got to New York first. Well, it’s not like the general public can solve that problem either. No point in confusing them with the details! LOL
