Question Maths and engineering.........

....go hand-in-hand right? Well, I'm missing my karate lessons tonight to try and figure out Differentiating this and that, and I wonder "what the crud will I have this to use for in real life"? It's easy enough with physics, you can understand forces, see the ball hitting the ground etc. But maths is so ruddy abstract! It's really confusing me! But, as I hope to do engineering in the future, I'm persevering. But, I'd like to ask you maths minded PPRuNers out there, is what topics in Maths should I be concentrating on? Geometry? Trigonometry? 2+2? What? <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Oh, and another thing. Whyyyy the big long words????
