Does this mean “math above algebra”? Algebra is used at the word problem level, trying for unit prices or maximizing number and preference of candy bars at halloween and stuff like that. Many of HN readers use more complex math in their professional lives I’m sure so I’ll take this as “normal life” instead. While I don’t do hardware, I’m sure there are people who have used trig doing construction or landscaping (explicitly or intuitively). I can’t thing of anything else with my morning coffee - can others?
