I actually find myself using quite a bit of math at work - particularly geometry/trigonometry. Not so much on the straight forward algebra, but since that's the basis for most of the math that follows (the whole solving for x concept) it still gets used.

Then again, I would not be one of the people complaining about having to take math classes... I almost always loved them. Numbers and letters always made more sense to me in math classes than they did in science... chemistry, f'r instance. Icky.
