re: What was the highest level of math you completed in your schooling?

Highest I ever took was calc 1 and I barely passed

Business Cal 2

or

Econ Stats 2

Don’t know which was higher ... Probably Statistics.

Advanced calc 1 (MATH 4031). Engineering allowed us to take a 4 thousand level math as a technical elective. I made good grades in all my other calc and diff eq classes. This one tore me a new one, but the curve was huge.

ETA: Do you believe there is a positive correlation between level of math taken and income?

Yes. There are outliers such as high school math teachers, but those degrees requiring high level of STEM subjects likely make more on average.

Completed 1st and 2nd calculus at SELU. Transferred to LSU to take 3rd (vector) calculus. Found out that even though the SELU credits transferred and both schools used the same textbook, LSU's 3rd calculus started like 5 chapters ahead of where SELU's 2nd calculus ended. That was the beginning of the end of my career in engineering.

I see a lot of baws saying DiffyQ. I didn't find that class that terribly difficult if you understood Linear Algebra and Matrix Methods.

I hated anything that required writing an extensive proof. It left you wide open to the professor's discretion of how they viewed what a valid proof should look like.

Tested out of all of my college math requirements.

Took a calculus because of this smoking hot little emo chick.

I never understood why geometry was difficult, but calculus and trig made sense.

Cal 3

Topology, but Abstract Algebra was wayyy harder. Think Linear Algebra II.

I believe it was called 2090.

Linear algebra, and matrices, newtons laws of cooling.

Strange I kinda remember this shite.

Never use more than calc 2 in real life though.

If there is or is not a correlation I can't say. But I can tell you I got a B in the class (2nd toughest class I ever took), am legally considered a genius..... and I am a 97-98% income earner depending on the year.

So I would say yes -- success at high levels of math more than likely lends to high intelligence.

If you have a good work ethic and high intelligence --- your all set.

I only got through algebra 2 in high school but somehow managed to test out of trig, pre-calc, and calc 1 entering college. Unfortunately my degree plan required calc 2, so I had to take it. Never worked so hard for a C in my whole life.
