I'm an Electrical Engineer. To anyone with that degree, it just means we're basically electrical math majors. All of our EE classes were essentially higher order math sessions. Shit was rough.
It gave me a heightened awareness of how integral (pun not intended...ok, yes it was) math is in every day life. Nothing happens or gets done without math. Nothing. And I try to instill that value into our seven year old because we need American engineers who are experts in their fields. And at a minumum, she needs to understand the importance of math and how it makes our world go 'round. That unique perspective is invaluable.
Now, I'm not the only one who does the math. My wife, although not the greatest mathematician, still gets the homework done. I love that about her. She tries her hardest to teach our daughter everything she needs to know and goes way above and beyond to do so. She's her biggest advocate and that's incredibly important in her life.
