The subject of math reminds me of a recent encounter with a client. We had a business requirement meeting. It's not software development related, not even technically related. It's purely for me to understand their business, processes, and business rules.

One of the important business rules came up in discussion and they were arguing among themselves what's right or just trying to convince each other what the complicate rule really is. I was like, it's just a simple set of formulas if the problem was decomposed into smaller steps. After I told them about it, they were like, oh yeah, it's that simple.

The resulting math were very simple but the process to derive those was greatly benefited from higher level math training.
