I have an engineering degree from 2019 and was looking back at some of my math tests and notes, and holy shit I can't do any of this shit anymore. I think I'm down to basic algebra. I can't even do basic integrals, multiply and divide fractions, and do basic things in high school math. I used to knock out triple integrals, discrete math, diffeq, and everything in a stem degree. Linear algebra, all of that... I don't really use any of this at my job so I lost the knowledge. How can I get my math knowledge back? I think I'd have to start at algebra 1 or precalc.
>>17019022Yeah I know how that is, hope u kept ur old textbooks u need to do the work all over again. May take a long time. But it's the only way
>>17019022>I don't really use any of this at my jobno shit, none of that stuff is needed in the real world
>>17019022What kind of job do u have?Where do u work?Must be a dive of a place
>>17019025Some of them, majority were rentals. >>17019256Seems that way>>17019467Government job, its so boring and my skills atrophied.
>>17019022If you have an engineering degree why bother relearning all the math? I have thought about investing time in learning how to solve integrals again but it just seems so pointless. I'd rather read about technological developments and applications in my field.
>>17019663It is pointless overall, but I liked doing it and had fun solving problems. It was challenging and rewarding to put in effort to learn a skill, gain knowledge, and then get tested on it and see fruits from labor.There is no challenge at my job but putting in 8 hours per day and clocking out. The reward is not having to be in a shitty office and I can go home. You are lucky to be in a field in which you have to use your brain and can learn new things.
>>17019022i use plenty of these things in my day to day, even years after my PhD. >>17019256I literally had to use Bayes today to probe for homozygous parents based on offspring phenotypes. A few weeks ago I used a fair amount of discrete mathematics and analysis. It's useful stuff if you are creative.
>>17019714That sounds like rewarding work. What kind of field are you in?
