Being good at Math is the literal cheat code in Life

[Voice of Reason]

Being charismatic and persuasive is the cheat code not math. You can have plenty of STEM careers with basic math skills

Wish I was good at it because that means a good job. All I know are the basics.

Getting a Math degree requires a lot more than "basic" math skills

Just want to point out, you don't really have to be that good at math to get into finance.
The most advanced required math courses i took in college(accounting major) was Algebra and Geometry. Same type of math classes you took in highschool.
Hardest part for me was just keeping up to date with tax law. also the course didn't get any harder from freshman year to senior year. Seemed like we just repeated each class over and over but with more specific specializations . Accounting 101 basically teaches you everything you gonna learn in all your accounting classes. just from a more general perspective

how did you price options or exotics or structured products?

I’m much more of a reading/writing/philosophy kind of guy. But my wife has recently gone back to school and I’ve been relearning math alongside her. I find it very droll, but then I look at physics and the latest research behind quantum computers and I find it amazing.

pure maths and philosophy have overlap.

Further proves my earlier point

It's so hard to find math teachers in America because everyone here is on some

"Hurr durrr it's so hard omg I hate math"

BS. So we gotta important nikkas from foreign countries because they can follow directions,have discipline and do it, not necessarily bc they are smarter than us.

advanced maths (degree level up) is about more than just following formulas/e.

Yupp coding/programming comes from Discrete Mathematics and Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra? how so?

You can get good at math. Anyone with average intelligence can get good at math. The secret to getting good at math is knowing what intuition is
and building your intuition, something they don't teach in public school or the school system at all.
People don't realize book smart and street smarts are the same thing, what you read about is talking about the real world
Once you build your intuition, you have to expand to what you don't understand
The "geniuses" know the tricks and secrets because they actually read what people were doing before them and are master students, they take good notes.
Here is another secret, everything they teach in school is based on these key words, An Object, A Property, A Value of A Property, And A Relationship
between Properties called an Equation (Property A = Properties A + B + C +etc.)
These words are just fancy intimidating words that describe and represent what we experience everyday, Time. Past, Present, and Future Effects
Meaning Our 6 Senses (Thoughts, Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch) of the Past, Present, and Future of Matter (Photons, Subatomic Particles e.g. Electrons
Protons, and Neutrons that Make Up Atoms that Make Up Ions and Molecules)
All of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (Science = Physics, Chemistry, Biology,etc.) is Based On What is Called
1) The Principle of Causility, (Stole this Quote from a Character named Katie on the FX Show Devs), A Cause Always Proceeds an Effect(What We Sense and the Matter), an Effect Always Leads to a Cause(A Constant or Something that Increases or Decreases the Magnitude of that Effect)
2) Leibiniz's Principle of Sufficent Reason, If An Effect is Not Forbidden A Priori, It's Possible, A Priori Meaning a Constant Effect or A Relationship between
Effects Represented by an Equation, What We Learned in Schol
3) Oscom's Razor, The Simplest Cause is the Reason

Everything is an Extension of Mathematics, this is why fields like Ontological Mathematics are rising, including the concept of God having to exist in order
for Math to work, and unfortunately, the Devil or Pure Evil existing too.
A lot of Mathematicians are spiritual or religious or have some type of intuition

This is why history is important because you understand the purpose and importance about what you're learning about in the 1st place. Start there.
Once your intuition builds, it gets easier.

I got a good business degree but I circumvented maths however assessments for jobs that contain basic maths freak me out and hence I don’t apply

Never got a good job as a result

Linear Algebra? how so?

Linear Transformation, Graph Theory, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, etc
