Starngely, one of the first jobs I was given after graduation used
complex maths in a real-world telephone reticulation application :-)

Twas related to paralleling cables together prior to a telephone
exchange cutover and we waneted to know what the result of using
diode isolators would be on the transmission losses. gave me a much
greater appreciation for the nuts-and-bolts usefulness of such
abstract stuff :-).
