We need math

I understood most of it, but really had no interest. What was I going to use it for?

I was the same way, UT. Calc 1 C, Calc 2 F, Calc 2 B

But then, Adv Algebra A, Graph Theory A, Graph Theory II A

I'm a discrete math kinda guy. In 28 years of post college, I never needed to use The Calculus. Set Theory, Combinitorics, Logic, and Algebra rule my world.

It was easy to blow off uninteresting courses in 1973; at that time, college and CS were less competitive than now. I still got into CS grad school w/o good grades, they were taking warm bodies in 1977. Good for me that CS grad school was all interesting courses and project work.

Shopping for the truck at three dealers yesterday, I made heavy use of Integer Comparison Less Than.
