Why do engineers study complicated math these things even they don't use ?
In civil engineering courses there is a lot of advanced maths, calculus, differential equations and the lot. I have read somewhere that all this won't be used in the real world and is just included in the university curriculum to prepare students for research or advanced study.Then why ?

You should not believe everything that you read. A competent engineer is adept at calculations.

No course can prepare you completely for a job. Every job description is different.
They're teaching you to how figure out new problems on your own.

To me, learning something a level higher gives me a stronger understanding of the levels below it. That could be why they do that.
