I’ve had to slog through a project with 2 guys that had BS in engineering One from Tex, one from Colorado), but couldn’t do math beyond plain arithmetic. The US is in big hurt academically.

I'm a friggin cook (sorta, now), and I can manage matrix math.

One bright spot story I'll share, is that one of my sorta step-daughters just graduated from UT with a petro degree. She had worked for me as an intern at an internet company, and she really did learn the math. Every bit that was required.

One conference room white board looked like something out of university most of the time.

We got a win on that one.

I know 10 more that can't/won't for that one that did.
