No math classes taken in college?

I’ve always been greatful that in my day not getting beyond HS algebra was not a factor in getting into college. I never took ANY math or math related class in college for my history/polysci degree. I am a discalculate and I fear that in today’s world this would have been a big issue where in mine it was not at all. Despite the insistence of some I have never ever needed to perform math as an adult (oh and lol about the teachers who told me I couldn’t carry a calculator around with me…oh dearies…yep every single person does…it’s called a phone)

The “ experts” also told me not to ever tell my girls I hated math. Sorry but I believe in being open and honest with kids. Maybe thats what got me to STEM daughters including a double engineering major ( well that and her engineer dad)
