And then of course, there are those really strange tech writers (finger
pointing at self), who got a degree in mathematics THEN decided to become
technical writers!

That might be true for advanced mathematics; even my most "technical" tech
writing job never required me to dig back into my college differential
equations courses, though I expect there are some jobs that would. But even
the least "technical" projects I've ever had required some kind of math,
even if it was just preparing budget proposals and hours reports.
