This is sad. I spent a half hour today doing basic algebra. My officemate is designing an interface for an in-car system. She was given the length of the diagonal of the screen. She wanted to create an image on the computer with the real dimensions, but the computer wants width and height, not hypotenuse. Off I went on the white board with x2 + y2 = h2 and the ratio of X:Y being 3:4. I had to do it three times because once I reduced a fraction incorrectly and once I added incorrectly, 16 + 9 does not equal 23. I won't dare try to access any Calculus brain cells. I think they're all gone. That shows you how much math I do in my work. My life is qualitative, not quantitative.
