I graduated from a tony American private high school, and went on to graduate from an ivy league college.
The last math I learned was basic trig in eleventh grade.
Somehow I was allowed, encouraged even, to avoid math. I never had to say the word math in college or graduate school.
As a result I do not actually know what calculus is, and while I’m sure you don’t invoke it while calculating a tip, I often struggle with that exercise.
Regrettably. I’m sure my predicament is not unique.
