@ChrissyRyan Dear Chrissy:
Of course, as a CPA and a Tax and Financial Planner, I use math each and every day
in the course of my business activities.

In high school, I hated algebra, but it was a required course. I wanted to be an architect, so instead I took geometry. Three years of geometry had me doing more algebra than if I had just taken the course. Now, I don't use it much except for direction-finding when I am out prospecting. I am old school, so a map and compass are what I know. I don't use a GPS. Haven't found a need for it.
Yes algebra is helpful for geometry.

Great!
Can't say it was a favourite subject at school. I was ok at maths but algebra went over my head.
I learned more maths after leaving school by working on my bikes and cars and working as a tram clippy, bus and tram driver and bar maid and hotel manager. I did the hotels books also.

I once maxed out on taking a long term capital gains and paid zero taxes on it to the IRS!
It required making sure our Adjusted Gross Income didn't go too high.
Math was essential for knowing we could do that! As well as fine tuning that number with legal deductions.
I just went through a similar calculation to figure out how much I could convert from a tax-deferred account to a Roth IRA while staying in the 12% tax bracket.
Knowing math is quite helpful for saving on taxes in the USA.
