What's the highest level of math you've taken?

I'm as smart as a 5th grader.

I'm taking my college math right now.

took the evaluation test when I enrolled and it showed I was deficient in my math knowledge to say the least.

The semester just ended, I took the super intro basic stuff. No calculators allowed. I have to work up to the college stuff, but when I'm done, I'm done.

but it's coming back to me, and much easier to deal with as a mature adult rather than the petulant child I was in jr. high.

my math problems in school are a perfect example of a failure in the public school system.

anyway, got an 87 on the final, and an A in the class.

on the written/verbal part of of the eval test I got a perfect score.

In machining classes we took some Trig but the majority of my math has been practical on the job stuff. Weight and balance, displacement etc when I went to AeroTech. I do pretty well as long as I can apply it to a real world situation.
You know, the useful kind of math.

I took Algebra II/Trig as a sophomore in high school. I use math everyday as a motorcycle mechanic, but haven't used any of the advanced trigonometry since graduation. The algebra is used on a daily basis, which frustrates my apprentice no end, as he sucked at math in HS...

I have yet to do any math that I can't figure out on a 35' tape measure.


Well, there was this one time, (No, it wasn't at band camp.) Had to figure the arc of a circle from two rooms away, to hang some lights.


The tape didn't help too much.

All I needed for college was "Mathematical Modes of Thought" (how to start thinking about maybe someday actually doing some math). All through high school I had to take the lowest level math classes, hardly a step above special ed. It was funny too, because once done with those I would head off to my honors english and history classes.

Studied astrophysics in college, so I've done everything from calc 1-3, diff eq, classical mechanics, every form of algebra, general and special relativity, quantum mechanics and the list goes on.

Looking back, it was a LOT of hard work and TONS of equations that take up an entire piece of paper to write down, but it was a LOT of fun. It also made me feel like I really got my moneys worth out of my college degree, since I was challenged daily and felt like it would never end.

Still ain't found a tape with 2/3 of an inch measurement.

Hey, if you're looking to learn (or re-learn) math, you can go from 1+1=2 to calculus for free at http://khanacademy.org.

This method works better for some people than reading out of books or listening to teachers at a whiteboard.

great site, I've been using that over the past few weeks to relearn a lot of that stuff
