As someone in a technical field, to what extent do you use mathematics? !

Mathematics is a tool of science. But for my daily work, the math I use is nothing more than addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with some functions – basically just middle school level math. It might be that my skill level is still quite low. Do you use advanced mathematics in your work?
It can be used; for example, you can calculate the relationship between the liquid level height and the volume of a horizontal tank
When calculating the PID parameters of a control controller
The significance of learning advanced mathematics lies not only in its use in a narrow sense. Learning professional theories requires advanced mathematics, and system analysis also requires it. The value of advanced mathematics lies not only in calculations but, more importantly, in using it for analysis and understanding.
You generally don’t need to do the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by hand; just create a table and enter the data. However, advanced mathematics is still very useful for understanding and analyzing problems
Just simple integration at most; usually, specialized software is used to replace complex calculations
1. Integrals are used in chemical reaction engineering calculations to determine the reaction rate. 2. Concepts related to probability theory are used in the calculation of equipment and instrument failure rates. For example, based on the level of danger associated with the device, it is determined that the allowable probability of failure for that device should not exceed 1/1,000,000. Next, using principles from probability theory, the normal, fault-free operation time for each individual device is calculated; these values are then combined to determine the overall normal, fault-free operation time of the device. Finally, a judgment is made as to whether the design is appropriate.
