    Geometry. The answers provided by all the theorems and proofs (etc.) are more precise than the kind of spatial thinking I've really needed to do. I'm a good estimator and measurer. That's been more than adequate.

    Mind you, my work has NOT been in the mathematical line, and I'm surely glad we HAVE our mathematicians and engineers. What they know and can do surely makes our lives more convenient. :-) Math is everywhere. Consider queueing theory, just for one instance, and how much the transportation industry relies on it.
