To quote Winger: "She's only 17" You need math to know wether that's legal in your state or not.
Seriously though....
I'm a lowly IT Analyst. I dont' think of my team as the matrix enlightened, but more like a custom car shop. You bring in a vette, and we tune it into the vehicle that you need, and fix whatever rattles. Sometimes that means stretching it out and adding 2 more doors and some cargo space (recreating a cts-v?) Most often though, it's finding ways to minimize maintenance.
Being one of 2 people on my team that understand stats / higher algebra, I can fake code my way through many of our team's issues just by using Excel and a few Vlookups & compound ifs to quickly get necessary stats on small to medium flatfile data sets in just a few minutes.
I can prove to my manager how much work I'm doing in comparison to my peers by illustrationg ticket closure rates over time, as well as show a function predicting when our team will theoretically hit 0 counting for new tickets. I often find myself Illustrating how order of operations can affect outcomes in all kinds of situations, etc..
Where I'm going with this....
While I'm obviously no math Genius. Math has certainly helped me apply various degrees of logic to solve problems much quicker than my peers. My EMM (english major mgr) is actually an awesome boss, but frequently requires the logic to be presented in an "informal" way not just for her, but for our many customers. In order to do that most easily, you have to understand it! (or use a car analogy).
In conclusion, I'm JUST an analyst, 2nd teir IT up from Desktop, not a DBA, not an unix admin, not an architect, not a coder... and yet I apply math all the time. I can only imagine how much better I could be at my job if I could have gotten through calculus after I discovered Ritalin! I don't believe I could do higher level postions (design / coding) without functional (pun intended) use of math above my current skill level.
