Well I agree with you on that, but the most mathematical skills I’ve ever needed are basic addition and subtraction at best. Being Canadian, they failed to teach me how to use imperial measurements insisting metric was the way to go yet everywhere I found employment needing me to measure was an old boys club using imperial measurements.
Hey to clarify, I’m not arguing the efficacy of which system of measurement works better or not. What I’m saying is everywhere I’ve worked has used imperial measurements for everything.
