Not saying ir shouldn't be taught but I've never used it. I was told it was used in construction.... when I actually worked construction we just pulled out our tape measure and measured shit. Bossman was trying to figure something out with math once and by the time he got done I had already went up the ladder measured it and came back down.
Not saying I never used math in the line of work though just wasn't algebra.
