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

Something about this thread just doesn't add up............

When I worked on a survey crew we got into some interesting math, closing polygons and such. Confused the bejesus outta me for a while but just about the time the "cross training" assignment ran out I started to get it.

I changed majors in college because I struggled with whatever calculus class I had to take. I actually switched Economics, which is all math classes, but did better and was glad for the change. I really wish I was better at math. I'm the guy who can't do algebra, but got A's in statistics. Statistics was actually the only math class I ever got an A in.

Same here. Statistics made sense and had a point. Never could get my head around algebra.

Never could do fractions either, until I started taking drafting classes.

Doing conversions is what kills me. Also, I'm embarrassed with how many times in my adult life I've had to look up how to do long division, and even long subtraction.

Or hand me a traditional calculator. I've been using the same HP with RPN since 1985. Damned if I can run a normal calculator without breaking out in a sweat.
