I'm a mathematician and an engineer. I have used mathematics to predict weather for the US Navy, to work on nuclear reactors, to win more than 1 million dollars gambling, to do research for a hedge fund, to develop guidance and control systems, to synchronize atomic clocks, and to do machine learning/pattern recognition. Physics and chemistry were also quite useful, but not as useful as the math. If you are into math, here are the 100 most useful ideas and theorems in math according to me -- http://artent.net/blog/2012/11/27/100-most-useful-theorems-and-ideas-in-mathematics/ http://artent.net/blog/2012/11/27/100-most-useful-theorems-a...
