I'm reminded of a couple years ago when I was forced, as part of my welding curricula, to take "Math For Welders". Yes, this was every bit as bad as you might imagine. It started out with basic addition and subtraction. Multiplication and division each got their own week of study.

As someone with a degree who has taken and passed Calc 2, it was a bit low. (And for some ungodly reason TVI wouldn't accept transfer credits from UNM.)

"You have to show your work, Ogre."

"I don't even remember how to show my work on long division, sir."

"What are you going to do if you have to work out some length in the field?"

"Use the calculator in my phone."
