I learned, I forgot, I am a waste!!!
Seriously though, you will forget and probably not use any of it except the fundamentals. Unless you go into certain careers you really don't need the advanced stuff.

Yes, I have been out of school for a while. I hated math back when I was a student. Actually my choice of a major in college had to do with the only course of studies that did not have any math requirement!
But, yes, there are situations where you will need to have a basic knowledge of math just to get by in the world. Have no fear though, if the math gets two complicated, you can always fall back on a calculator, or computer to help you out.

every day and several tmes a day sometimes....... I' m able to double check my utility bills for accuracy, calculate interest on loans or on CDs, quickly calculate what 25%/35% off a sale price would be, can determine what a final price will be with sales tax added, and I have a pretty good idea of what I'll be looking at when tax time rolls around. You bet... math is absolutely essential to know in the adult world, or you will be taken advantage of on many occasions.

Yes, I do. On a daily basis. Figuring percentages (when things are one sale), balancing check book, making budget for spending etc.

The basics, addition, subtraction, etc, but I also use an adding machine for most of it. As far as algebra and geometry and other forms of mathematical torture? Not necessary for the average day. (See, Mom? I was totally right!!!)

Yep, all the time. As a model railroader, it's always good to know the numbers.
