      Very useful. A lot of things require calculations, sometimes they are quite simple but they can get quite complicated as well. It depends on the type of engineering and on the project.

      Maths is probably the most useful subject to engineers. It plays a big part in the higher level qualifications and i use it virtually every day.

      The most useful thing you can learn before starting engineering

      Very useful, but for me its usually very simple maths rather than super complicated stuff.

      pretty useful. It’s important to reality check your experimental results with theory to make sure they make sense.
