Together with the Bayesian, I’d add a basic understanding of how arguing works 
– I mean reasoning, not LB stuff.
 
Some basic stats wouldn’t go remiss either. Most people don’t understand basic 
probability. I suppose you’d need this before hitting
 the Bayesian stuff anyway.
 
My biggest logic/maths bugbear – random. I understand how random works, but I 
ignore the concept far too often. It’s so much nicer
 to find patterns, whether they’re there or not.

I read once that the most important things to understand at a fundamental level 
are exponential growth and Bayesian reasoning.

There are things that they really should teach people in school that they don’t.
Everyone should learn basic contract law. This would stop a whole lot of people 
from getting screwed
 over because they signed something that they didn’t understand. This is 
especially important considering how our national credit act works.
The second thing they should teach people is how to budget, including how 
interest works and the
 time value of money. Show people what they’re actually paying. Help them to 
understand how saving will work and how to manage on a limited budget. You can 
do this at a young age. It’s the practical use of maths that they need to get 
into people’s heads.

 
90% of the maths that I learned has done nothing for me (personal life, not 
work life). Once you
 actually do some vaguely advanced maths – I mean matric level stuff like 
Riemenn sums – you can see how it can be used, especially if you’re doing 
physics at the same time. For the rest, you don’t really need it. When last did 
anyone here need to calculate
 the volume of a sphere?
 
I do understand that you need a proper maths base before you head to the 
advanced stuff, and I’m
 sure people who know a lot more about teaching than I do have thought about 
this, but I do wonder why school maths isn’t more practical.

I think I'd be more fond of maths if I could have applied it practically at a 
young age.

 


Despite not being the greatest fan of it, if I can apply something logically 
and have it make sense that way, it sticks.

Meh, maths is broad enough that you can find some of it that works for you. The 
maths that we did
 for comp sci was discrete structures. It doesn’t match anything that we did in 
school – more logic than calculus or algebra. Google ‘strong induction’ for an 
idea of what it is.

You have to assume that they can hack basically anything since they've obtained 
source code to hardware firmware.  These hacks go way back to 2001.  Noone 
knows what they're capable of now.  And you still have to consider the 
capabilities of Russia, China,
 Europe and Israel.
