I helped design the first nmr (mri) scanner. It would have been a bit of a clusterfuck if we couldn't do sums like.
What is the point in learning Maths?

This fella has a magic calculator which automatically adds 10% onto whatever number the output should be.
Are you aware that "data", understanding it and being able to analyse it is possibly the biggest growth area of the knowledge economy?

Yeah that's what I did. Split the submarine into an infinite amount of slices and tried to make all flow laminar around the bow. It worked tbf until it came to steering
Looks like someone has done it
Maybe we should have used a Monte Carlo

Maths is going to massively important in the next 50 years or so before we develop AI.
Now that I'm older and a bit of a physics geek I wish I'd really stuck it in at school some of it is canny interesting like ew.

I don’t know how to do this without creating a really obvious two tier system but there’s an argument that a sizeable minority of kids would be much better equipped for life and work with a much more practical education. A lot of kids haven’t got a chance with the basics because their parents are thick as fuck. Society overall would get a massive leg up if bairns are kept on the straight and narrow.

The square root of fuck all
All those shite subjects taught in school, and the OP picks on arguably the most important one...
There's kids leaving school who can't do basic maths and who haven't even learned how to write in their native language.
It's time to dump all the brainwashing and religious crap and spend the time saved teaching maths, English, science and the humanities.

Respect! Those things fascinate me, and they are one of the greatest technical achievements mankind has ever created, IMO.
You can't spell Fulwell, but I'll let that slide.
An old variation on this one.
After the flood, God said all the animals shall go forth and repopulate the earth but instructed Noah to chop down a tree and make a table and give to the snakes. Noah was puzzled as no other animals were getting special attention. God replied, "adders need log tables to multiply."
Here's a beauty.
