How much math do you use in your job?

>Engineers, do you actually use calculus regularly (or even at all?) or do you have computer programs that take care of all that for you?

i do use it very rarely and when i do i only do it once. then i just code it into excel or matlab or something and never do it again.

Not too shabby of a model, but the specular mapping needs work.

Yep, just program any math you need and then never do it again. Or google it.

>What's the most surprising kind of mathematics that you've found yourself using that you were sure you never use in the "real world?"
I did some combinatorics for a project once.

>work at kroger, manager shows me two ways to detect fraud

He used Benfords Law which says for some odd reason alot of numbers in statistics and nature where you have alot of data or measurements have the first digit 1 rather at 30% rate rather than the intuitive 10% percent among seemingly random circumstances.

Some credit cards have payments that dont follow Benford's law and they usually belong to fraudulent peolpe or the credit cards were stollen and the previous payments were faked to make the card seem alot older than it actually is. This was back in 2016 though and i thought that the whole ring of people who did that had moved on to better methods. He didnt name Benfords law but I saw some vsause vidro or some other youtube bait series and knew that that was what he was talking about the other day.

I forgot the other way it was just some program. Im not a coding/programming computer guy at all

my job involves sitting on my ass in a 100 degree room, pretending to put computers together, but, in reality, i'm just signposting
so, no math at all
