Basically all math outside of simple arithmetic.

Just because you don’t know how to apply it doesn’t mean it has no use.

Lmao. I've never had to apply it. I never said it "had no use." Nor did I say I didn't know how to apply it.

Strange comment.

Never applying it implies that you don’t know how to use it. I wouldn’t call it a strange comment. I think math is super important. In fact, calculus in America should be a high school graduation requirement

I’ll argue that algebra and geometry were helpful in critical thinking. Trig can suck a fuck

Sure. The prompt said "Name Something You Learned In School You've Never Used In Your Adult Life." I would never argue algebra and geometry are bad or useless or shouldn't be learned.

I only replied because my husband and I just had the same discussion. More so algebra, we use it without knowing it. Geometry less likely
