My dad keeps telling me that I shouldn't bother trying to learn mathematics because I didn't do well at maths in high school. Is he right?

I did very well in all other subjects except the sciences, my skills would be wasted in a trade anon.

I'm working as a software developer, only temporary, but I thought brushing up on mathematics would be a good thing for that.

Is it going to be useful for your career? If yes, then study maths. If no, study maths since its not gonna harm you too. Just assume good/bad academic performance dont exist.

No, my housemate was in the special ed class in highschool, he self taught high level math and now programs for a living.
I on the other hand nailed math at school, never really used it for 20 years and now I'm having a real hard time trying to learn more.

When designing any arch that is going to hold weight.
>or whatever the fuck sin and cos does
Any kind of electrical work involves these more than you would think.

Lots of people (my younger self included) don't realize how much math is used in most jobs that involve thinking. Hell even management types are expected to know a fair bit of math these days.

anon i have some bad news

srs tho if you are a retard its still a good idea to study math and reach your own ceeling so you can at least be less of a retard than you are now, anyone will benefit a lot from learning to think mathematically imo

Parabola comes from a quadratic equation so if you can't understand a parabola you won't understand how to deal with quadratic which show up all the time. If you can't do simple trig you're useless in anything beyond simple business algebra. If that's your view of math, it's not worth your time

In my experince higher math is vastly different to school math.
You dont have to be good at math to be a mathematician and you wont be a good mathematician just because you used to be the best student in math.
Its alot more about how you approach and solve problems with a given set of rules.
So yeah give it a try if you want to.

we've seen this a million times.
No you don't have any skills and no you aren't going to unleash some hidden potential by going through meme list or khan academy.
Every developer thinks playing with code like lego blocks means they have some hidden math talent for some odd reason.
Let me tell you what's going to happen
you're going to spend one week on these meme books
then realize your dad was right
then go back to your brainlet dev work

depends

did you try really hard at high school math, but suck major dick at it anyway? if so, don't bother

did you blow off math and put in 0 effort? if so then we really don't know if you have the potential to be good or not, maybe take some classes at a community college or something and actually try to gauge your talent level

I probably use more math as a tool and die maker than I did with my degree as a software dev. Then again the most complex shit i do is like some highschool trig

>>12521125
Look around you at everything you own, anything that was stamped or injection molded was made because people know trig ratios. Quadratic functions are fucking gay but dont be shit talking grade 8 trig. That has actual uses

Are you talking in general or about yourself? I mean most people have no use for it but thats normal specialisation. Every profession knows things only they use, i for one dont know how to fly a plane but pilots do and its useful for them. All that math shit is useful for someone.
