Carpenters use math to accurately measure materials, joints, and angles. Also, making cutting lists and drawings to determine the most economical use of their materials. Calculation of the paycheck doesn't mean that they don't trust their employer, it is just a good habit, regardless of means of employment. Just finding the job site may require reading a map, and that may mean calculating distances.
