Yeah. I've been writing code as a job for a decade now and have never needed to factor a quadratic equation. I really just needed a course that helped me get introduced to programming (which I ended up using a LOT in the domain I went to school for: geography and remote sensing).
(Every time I write something like this I immediately feel defensive about being an impostor. Someone saying, "how can you not know that? You should know that. You must not be doing _real programming_.)
