Percentages and arithmetic in daily life, programming, financial bookkeeping...to be fair, the math I use often is pretty basic, but even so, the report from UCSD seems to be saying that a significant fraction of the remedial math students can't even perform at that level.

Other math I use rarely, but I'm still glad I learned, say, geometry or calculus when a situation pops up.
