Spokeshave who tought advanced placement pure and applied mathematics.
He said that he used numerical modeling to modify the Ethernet protocol's handling of packet collisions (the random wait time before trying to retransmit). I never used that for my code writing. LOL But I've called on those skills a few times with some of my data reporting.
Or geochemistry which is really thermodynamic chemistry at depth with great overburden pressures and temperatures. That course was a bitch. Only five of us signed up for the course. We all got an A and deserved it. The final was a “take home exam” with two weeks until due, and the professor knew we would work together on super bitch problems. He also knew we would all learn much from this.
Unusual things happen at extreme pressures and temperatures. A triple point phase diagram defies common sense but it is real.

no problem, as long as they don't have to master operations with signed integers or fractions
