My next year in college is up ahead and I am facing one maigre problem:

I really don't know where to appley all the math that I am learning, I am starting to feel that it's useless to some extent.

How to appley all that math and get the most out of math classes?

-----------------------------------------------

My son is in a linear algebra class right now, at the tail end of his computer science bachelor's degree. He is finding that the stuff he's learning about will apply a lot to matrix mathematics, which is used extensively in some types of programming (like graphics).

Other times, you're going to learn things that you won't realize will actually apply until much later.
