    You either study to work at something, or avoid the study to become something else. It’s really not that difficult to understand, and yet life in itself gives you too many complications.

    Try dead reckoning and celestial navigation 4 times a night and you’ll wish for elementary math. If you get the problem wrong, you die slowly at sea.

    Even in Farragut’s day, a naval officer had to know about sines and cosines, et cetera et cetera, to handle and command a sailing ship.

    Today, if you want to become a Navy officer, you’d better master at least your trigonometry. Calculus would be a plus.

    My cousin Matt at about 12 commented that he’d like to be a truck driver so he wouldn’t have to do math. My brother-in-law, a trucker at the time, could only laugh – fuel, load, mileage, etc. etc. Matt’s now career Navy, though repairing jets rather than navigating.

    School truly is a miserable mass of mundanity.
