what is the last math course youve completed? for some reason, i expect there will be some scary mathematics listed in this thread that no one has ever heard before, only taught to the most articulate and well-trained, genius minds here on xltronic...
(algebra 2 for me !)

The last thing I did was GCSE maths, but I've just started doing an oceanography degree, which involves a lot of maths and physics.
So I am re-teaching myself both, because there is some pretty mental (to me at least) maths involved.

Im taking some oceanography classes to fullfill my science requirements. I chose them because I didnt think there would be much math involved. but I spend 90% of my time making conversions and using formulas. As a non-science major, I was hardly pleased to learn about the Density factor and seismic reflection profiling. I am very, very bitter now.

Fourier, laplace, tons of calculus, trig, matrices, more letters than numbers in equations. fun fun fun.....

What is Algebra 2? I did take a course called Linear Algebra 2. It involved transformations in and of spaces. Some of it was quite difficult and I ended up memorising the ways to solve certain problems, which I don't usually do.

Linear Algebra usually comes after Calc here, Algebra 2 would be pre-calc, or just before the class called Pre-Calc or something.
Matrices; I'm surprised I got this far and i don't really know what matrices are. I think they have something to do with handling imaginary numbers or roots of polynomials or something, among other uses? Somehow I must have skirted around that area of knowledge; I always seemed to go through tests 'on the fly' as it were, figuring out what I was doing as I went along. I hate to study.

I didn't quite fathom how much maths this degree entailed before I started. Still, I'm enjoying it, getting better at it all the time and I feel like I am doing something more productive with my time than getting wasted every weekend.
I only got a D for GCSE maths, but I think that was down to the amount of getting hammered and/or chasing girls I was doing at the time. I'm not a thickie by a long shot.

12th grade math, though actually I stopped going to that class three-fourths into the year and failed! So I guess I really only have 11th grade math. I never took another math course after that, though when I go back to school I guess I might have to do one or three as a formality. Didn't take one during the first two years of uni.

second year maths in university
we've done set theory, graph theory, circuit theory...
nothing near as difficult as the logic we did in 1st year in logic/prolog class. the logic we did in our actual 1st year maths class was piss easy.
uni maths is no laughing matter :(

I took my last math class in the 11th grade of high school. I don't remember what we covered, all I can tell you is it involved the unit circle, Sine/cosine/tangent stuff, radians, etc. Ever since I changed schools in elementary and missed a year of math I coudln't catch up and was shit at it every year afterward. To this day I need a calculator to do even basic multiplication and division, it's pathetic.
Good thing I went into communications in college. No math or science requirements at all.

BSc in physics so we did some crazy calculus maths like z-transforms, bessel function sand all that jazz. Handy stuff.
I had a eureka! moment in college when i finally saw how complex numbers (sqrt of negative numbers) manifest in the real world . Its hard to explain but one application has got to do with decaying processes in optics.
Matrices were fun!
Fermats last theorem is the last time i had anything to do with maths. I solved it while listening to "vic acid" one time, but i forgot to claim my prize. :P

Diffrential Equations was the last useful math class I had. And then there's the useless tripe called Integral Calculus with complex numbers. Actualy it wasn't completely worthless... there's the cool Algernon Effect I get when looking over my old notebooks :)
