People don't just slap a beam here and there yeah there are regulations to go by. Which is why an architect will draw up your plans and have everyone and their mother look at it so they make sure his calculations are right and your house doesn't collapse in on itself.
I think you mean engineers right? I think architects need to know how geometry works though too maybe, so sure.
I'm pretty sure maths is important for coding as well, but I really have no idea.

Citation please.

It's a joint effort from what I've seen working construction could be wrong but you get the idea it's still important.
Not too certain on the coding aspect cause I'm half Neanderthal lol but I'd imagine it plays a big part.
I say architects only because I'm at a sight where metal bars were bolted onto and connecting parallel l beams from one end to the other to stop the building from swaying too much.
You need a happy medium when it comes to the rigidity of a building you know what I mean? All I'm saying is you need math to find that medium lol.

no most people make money on the stock market because most stocks gain value over time, there are no predictions because you can't accurately predict the stock market.
"From 1926 to 2014, the S&P 500 index has posted 65 positive years and only 24 negative years" - some investment website (also my economics teacher said something to the same effect)

I've done a bit of basic java and C#, you need a firm understanding of basic algebra and a bit more advanced use of equations sometimes but other than that the math isn't too too difficult. (From what I've done)

Moving it to on topic will do similar things than what happened to the future thread. This is not a good thread, there is literally no use of maths that's useless. Just close the thread.
