Just because there are no Xs or Ys in sight, it doesn't mean you aren't using Algebra every single day.

Proof That You Use Algebra All The Time (Even If You Don’t Realize it)

You probably even used calculus today. 

Michael Blake has assigned each of the 10 numbers (0 to 9) a note on a scale, and he made Pi into a song. Give it a listen here.
