For the experienced scientists and educators, what are the most useless math topics from a practical standpoint. I would list my favorite:
1. Polynomial long division. If the numerator and denominator don't factor, what is the use of performing the long division?
I know of only one -- to find the leading order behavior of a rational polynomial. But who would care about that other than a theoretical physicist or chemist?
