I use math often, but most of the time it's basic math. Simple things like ratios when trying to calculate per-unit costs in a grocery store when two things are displayed with different units, or converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Basic multiplication for tip calculation.
The most complex was when I used some trig to calculate the angle at which I had to wrap a square column with christmas lights to ensure I covered the column from top to bottom with a single string and no excess.
For finance and stuff like that I don't even bother trying and just use calculators.
