Current Events > What's the highest level math class you ever got up to?

(+) Yeah! (+)

calc 1, trig?

Calculus 2 and Statistics

graduate studies probability theory. Learned craps gives the player the best odds of winning in a casino

Honors calculus my senior year of high school.

probably algebra 2, I think.

Survey of Mathematics in college, which was sort of remedial. I got lucky and passed with a C. In high school, I went through three years of Foundations, and failed all three years before dropping out.

There was a class after Calc 3 that I forgot the name of. Differential equations or something.

Some special topics courses in grad school.

When I was in high school New York had two math regents exams, A and B. A was mostly algebra, statistics and some geometry. B was mostly trig with some extra geometry and algebra. Our school had one semester classes 3 in each for both exams. I got to B1 before taking more remedial classes to graduate high school.

Edit-Forgot grad school which had an advanced statistics class.

In high school- Trig and College Algebra. I had no idea what was going on either part and barely passed.

College I took intro to statistics. I picked a major they required only one 100-level math class as a gen ed.

Um... Algebra, I guess? No fucking clue tbh.

Algebra

Calculus, but I dont Id be able to replicate much it.

Geometery and Trig I can handle - but I was always more visual with my Math than reliance on formulas.

Foreign Investments

Dunno what the US equivalents are, but here we just have a single "maths" subject up to Year 12 (4th year of High School). In Year 13 (5th / final year) it splits into Statistics and Calculus; I completed Stats and started but didn't complete Calc.

math 1

i couldn't comprehend algebra to learn it (never seemed to need it in this lifetime for me).

it's required in high school graduation now (compared to 15 years ago).

CT4 Holy

Second semester abstract algebra (mostly proofs about homomorphisms). It sucked, and I like math.

Pre-Calc in High School, epic fail. I should have done Stats.

I ended up doing more in College. I got up to Trig and Business Stats. I would say Business Stats was the tougher of the two, probably the second most complex math class I ever took. Fortunately the Professor was very forgiving.

Edit: Actually I think it was Behavioral Science, not Business. Either way it was way tougher than basic Statistcs.

calculus

Calculus 3, differential equations

It was about 7 years ago so I dont remember any of it and dont use it in IT ever.

I'm guessing Abstract Algebra and Real Analysis.

Algebra. Could never pass it.

Business Calculus

Calc in college I think.

Had to take half a semester of Calc 3 IIRC as well as a full semester of Differential Equations

Highest I completed was Calculus BC in high school (the higher of the two calculus classes my high school offered). Was taking Vector Calculus when I dropped out of college.

Numerical Analysis, Diff-Eq, and Linear Algebra.

Mathemagics.

Calc 2, got an A and didn't need to go higher.

Calc 1

I dropped out not too long after though

Calc 2 back when I first started college. I never finished back then, and now that I'm back in school under a new major, I don't have any math classes that advanced on my degree plan... Thank God lol.

In college, Calc 2 or some physics classes, not sure which was harder.

Algebra 2. I flunked out.

Have heard others say this as well. That the importance of math education is greatly greatly overrated esp. stuff like past algebra 1, that it does not mostly apply to anything , isn't used much after graduation...etc.... do most of you guys agree with this?

Calculus 5 I guess? I've had other shit like combinatorial theory, discrete mathematics, linear algebra, and mathematical reasoning, but Calc 5 definitely took the cake. Fuck that class. I don't even remember what I fucking learned in it lol

hey i' m the cedar point guy. Aren't you like over 30, and you're going back to college to finish your degree, in a different major?

Algebra 1. Im terrible at math.

I dunno everything after Discrete Math was elective shit so I don't know the difficulty ranking. I took Graph Theory, Numerical Linear Algebra, and Abstract Linear Algebra so they have to be up there somewhere

Yeah I'm 34. Originally when I was 18 I was majoring in computer science. But I kept changing what I wanted to do and learned a bit of several things. Computer Science, Film Production, Water Treatment Operator, and Police Officer.

Now I'm working on my BSIT degree and it's going pretty well. I'm 3 semesters in. By next summer I should be able to apply for the mid level IT position with the government (usually ends up being help desk).

It depends what you do, but the strong point of a math education probably isn't the math itself but the ability to learn and reason through things without someone holding your hand.

Business Calc. As long as you know how to do basic math and use a calculator, that's all you really need to be an accountant.

oh what kind of work do you do now? you don't like it? What is bist, though? I have heard that comp sci major is much more difficult than stuff like mechanical engineering. A lot of like debugging and some useless stuff in the comp sci curriculum that mechanical does not have

Never made it to algebra or past it

maybe not, but dont' you need like calc 2 for an accounting degree?

second half of 8th grade lol

Differential equations/linear algebra or calc 3. Not sure which is considered "higher" or "harder."

Funny enough, no. I have my CPA license. The only thing they care about is having over 150 units and taking the core accounting classes. Business Calc was the last math course I had to take in CC to transfer over to a university. And all Business Calc was is just Calculus with word problems.
