Boring???? Electronics??? You just ain't been there!!!!
I think I used just about every button on a scientific calculator during my degree and indeed throughout my life in analog electronic design. It is about the most esoteric and mathematical life you can possibly contemplate. Complex maths (ie based on the sq rt of -1), vectors, sines and cosines, exponentials, hyperbolic functions, number bases, bessel functions, natural logs, oct and hex, statistics, matrices, 2pi and e everywhere, 2 over root 3, and the most extended use of multipliers from pico to tera.
That's before you start analysing circuits, and then start inventing new ones and getting patents on them....
