I have been in the workforce for several years now and I find that I need to constantly be refreshing my math. A big chunk of math reeduction came when I moved from doing web development to doing games development, and I find that now that I am in the field, it seems to be sticking with me.

I think that one of the big missing things in math education is the application. I can remember all of the stuff that I learned when using a compass and a straight edge, but when I came out of private school, and went to a public school, and started learning out of books, nothing stuck.
