    Pretty much true, but those "specialized" fields are widely dispersed; nearly any technical field requires math above the level of, say, Algebra I. Certain very practical applications and situations involving objects in motion relative to each other, pose problems not easily solved without higher math abilities.
    I was struggling with Calculus in Electronics Technical College which I mentioned to my Dentist. He remarked that he always wondered why he had to learn Calculus, when in all those years of practice, he never used any of it.

    Go figure!
