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

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.

Actually used it twice at work.

I have used matrix operations a few times to solve multiple equations at once, but really the only math I use now is integrating simple equations from time to time.

Quantitative Methods for the degree i don't use. Hated that class

Differential Equations, even though I found three dimensional calculus to be more challenging

---

Calc 3 is easier than Calc 1 and 2. Calc 1 you learn the long way, Calc 2 you learn the short way, Calc 3 is the short way 3 times.

IDK how you woul dthink Calc 3 was harder than DiffiQ

Linear Algebra was easy with the 3rd party app I downloaded to my TI-89 calculator

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

DE2 or Linear Algebra. LE was the hardest for me, I still today can not tell you what a subset is. I am pretty good at math, really good actually, but for some reason I never even came close to getting a grasp on subsets.

"In linear algebra and related fields of mathematics, a linear subspace, also known as a vector subspace, or, in the older literature, a linear manifold, is a vector space that is a subset of some other (higher-dimension) vector space."

Asymptotic expansion and perturbation techniques was my final class - boundary layer solution techniques. Had aspects of complex calculus and Fourier series I believe

Also, the textbook for the course was not used at all, and if you tried to use it as a reference you discovered there was no correlation between the material in the book and what Aravena did in the class.

---

There was no correlation between what Aravena was teaching in class and what was on his tests.

Perpetual class average on his tests in that class: 54

I squeaked out a B, but the first test I think I got a 33 and that was a C.

That textbook was $70 and it was useless. And in my career, and the careers of everybody I know of, the course was useless. It was strictly a cut class. Like hazing on the academic side.

2nd Calculus
