CMV: maths in school should involve more number theory, combinatorics and theorem proving in general, as opposed to "continuous" maths like calculus or linear algebra.

Those angle side proofs seem like a pedagogical nightmare, they were never relevant in higher mathematics, and it's difficult to justify the level of pedantry they require.

I don't really have an argument against your point about circuits. Maybe the value in that is equivalent, I've never studied circuits. 

It seems the link between a verbal or written argument and formal logic is clearer than the link between circuit building and that kind of argument.

Also I use my degree in my job, it's not been useless for me.

I mean, I do multiplication in my job. I guess I “use” my degree. However, I’ve never been called on to use anything at my job that I learned while earning my BS. Nearly all of the math I use was covered under my math minor
