I really enjoy so far following the "Mastering Dyalog APL" book and its been great. What i didn't realize is that this language is really only used for data sets and science/math. Im not very strong with mathematics (no algebra or calculus/trig) and i feel like i might be ending up wasting my time.  I hope i don't mind if i'm bothering anyone, but what do you think i should do? 

Finance still uses a lot of it.  They're moving to R and Python but
there's so much APL out there that they will have trouble moving away
from it.

Finding an opening though can be a problem.
