I was up to the level of equations like binomial distribution, which probably only A level now.

Got to admit my daughter is in her penultimate year of her GCSE’s and dread her asking “what does this mean”.

I like numbers. If I'd actually applied myself at college (and not dropped out, but that's another story ), I could probably have gone on to a career in finance. I know if my wages or commission have been paid incorrectly at first glance...that's good enough for my current job

I'd say one thing I have learned about myself and the subject off maths from a young age is...

At times my maths skills when I was in school needed serious work on, gradually over time I got better at it...

took me into higher education but later I had to drop out due to not being able to keep up on maths related subjects despite extra help and sessions etc but that's just life...

These days I'd say I use it on a range off everyday life matters and scenarios, calculation say car journey time/miles from location A to location B and how long google maps estimates or petrol and off course yearly MOT & Car Tax/Service payments which I pay in one instalment then all that is left is upkeep..

hourly wages on jobs I'm working/carrying out, sports information, calculating costs/expenses/bills even though my numbers are off by a few digits sometimes I double check it on a calculator to be on the safe side..

Kind off a rocky relationship but its good for me to use it otherwise my maths skills would go worse...

Left school 37 years ago at 16 with an ‘O’ level. Surprisingly I can still remember one or two of the rhymes that ‘Nobby’ Clarke the maths teacher told us to help remember some of the equation stuff.

All that, opposite / adjacent = tangent type of thing.

I'm good at maths, passed O level a very long time ago.

I use maths everyday especially percentages. Working out margin on stock and profit and losses.

My mental arithmetic is excellent. Years ago when my wife helped my business a customer would have 6 items in their hands and I would tell her the total cost before she found the calculator.

Well to sum things up, you can count on me for any number of calculated risks you might want to take that doesn't involve multiplying. I'll divide my time giving you the biggest fraction of my time, adding as much input, whilst subtracting nothing that equals a positive balance, whatever that might equate to. As you can see I'm no square on anyone's hypotenuse, and only go off on a tangent if pi is not on the menu.

It makes a big difference,,to study at an RGU you have to be good, to study at Oxford you need to be really good. It’s like saying a BTEC is equivalent to a GCSE or Manchester Met is the same as Manchester, it isn’t.

Yet the pass rate for a 1st is harder to achieve from the Open Uni than Oxbridge.
