What course have you found to be most useful?

[NATURE.M]

Hey fellow forum members,

I just thought it would be interesting to hear what course you found to be most useful in your current day-to day role (occupation). It can be any course that you've taken at high school, undergraduate level, graduate level, or courses offered on coursera.

Thanks

Wow. Good question!

Statistics ranks pretty high - I use or see things I learned in that class probably every day.

General Chemistry.

Geometry.

Thermodynamics, but I rarely directly apply it directly. It just gave me a better understanding of "the world".

Statics/Mechanics of Materials (tie).

Differential equations. A very boring class, but very useful class as well.

Arithmetic? If limited to high school, probably algebra and pre-calc.

Technical writing is a big one. If you can't effectively communicate ideas, those ideas usually don't make it very far.

physics, more precisely, thermodynamics and mechanics - outside of the kitchen I work on anything with wheels.

Statistics for sure, now I wish I've learned a lot more about it, but that's because I'm a physicist going to financial mathematics.

Yeah that's a career path I'm considering (though I'm a physics undergrad), so I know I'll definitely need a lot of statistics/probability.
