Does the fact that a circle can not be quadrable depress or annoy you in any way?

Because I'm thinking of starting a social group about it.

Yes, there is a point to this thread. This is a topic on math. What are some of your favorite math theorems? How useful do you find math in your everyday life? Do you think learning the various mathematical areas (geometry, calculus, algebra) were useful to you in a practical way or in any kind of abstract way? Do you value your math knowledge?

I am in a BS/MS Chemical Engineering program. They come in handy a lot, and I love my math knowledge.

I am planning on majoring on Sports management so math will come in pretty handy. But some math stuff as in the sin/tan/cos stuff, I dont get why I need to know that. I hate that bullshit.

Took up to diff eq. Doing a project now that finally needs some attention from that class. In doing technical sales for 25+ years, the complex problems have just been reduced to linear stuff. That "higher learning" was a long, long, many-more-brain-cells-than-I-have-now ago.

I took up through Linear Algebra. My job requires me to add up numbers. Once in a while, a few of the numbers will be the same and I can use multiplication. That is, when I actually need to do math. The vast majority of the time, I just fill out paperwork.

I hate math but I use complex algorithms everyday as a computer scientist. Math is key to understanding of a high tech world IMO. People that dont do math are taking the manufacturing job...oh wait, those are going to third world countries so they wont be taking any jobs.
