So: not unless you’re a math professor, can’t google a percentages calculator, can’t make simple sums of a materials list, or, for some reason, want to calculate the maths underlying your creative/rendering applications. Not the most convincing article tbh.
Can’t remember the exact quote but it was something to the tune of “you don’t have to know how a toilet works to crap in one but it might help you appreciate it more”. I feel its applicable here.
Sure but that is the case with literally everything. There’s depths to everything. No such thing as unskilled labor. But that doesn’t mean that you’ll “need” to know math. The fact that math can describe and underlies everything (the shape of bubbles! Wow! You don’t say!) feels like a patently obvious statement. The article doesn’t make a convincing argument (imo) that you will need to know it.
