What is the highest math course each of you have had in college?
That's not quite the best question to ask, since Calc IV (which I've taken) is quite different from, say, Number Theory (2 semesters.) I've done 3rd year probability, 3rd year DE (ODE's & PDE's), Euclidean Geometry (3rd year), and a few other 3rd year courses I can't remember.
On a side note, I'd take a 4th year course, but I'm already at 120% course load in upper-level computer science courses (should I say I already finished my physics major? :D)
Physics Major (done), Comp Sci Major (year 3/4), Math Minor (done)

A while back, All the Calculus Clarkson U offered, along with
Fourier analysis, and aced Quantum Mechanics.
Haven't used it since.
:(
i am still 5 years away from a third-year math course in collage. so do i pick other? lol
Theory of numbers, Calculus, Analytical Geometry, Probability theory, Calculus of several variables, Foundations of Geometry, Differential Geometry, applied Physics, and Quantum theory. I have arranged them from the ones I use most often to the ones I hardly ever use.
I live in the UK & UK qualifications differ somewhat.
I am in my third year going for an EE & CPE double Major, i was just woundering if anyone knows what maths i will have to have or what level would you suggest i go to? I am great in Calculus i have aced cal1 2 & 3(finishing 3 now) what will i need all these math classes for when i get in the real world of Electrical & Computer engineering. And if you had to suggest a class for someone who loves programming and wants to get into the hardware side 2. In the future i want to start my own engineering company. SO any suggestions on classes i should look at that would help out would be great!
I lecture in number theory and analysis, fluid dynamics and advanced calculus at Exeter University in the UK which I believe tops everyone here ;) Although at this level, basic calculus knowledge is enough to put forward an opinion. I'd be interested to hear what qualifications DavidHooper has in the maths department, for curiosity's sake.
I'm curious, too. Would this put you in grade 10? Either way, being 5 years away from 3rd year college and being at your skill level is quite a feat. :) Although people may disagree with your proofs or ideas sometimes (including me once in a while :p), I have to admit that you're quite good from what I've seen. :D (But it doesn't mean you're always right. ;))Quote:

Keep up the good work! :cool:

i'm going into gr 11 in Sept. i own all my knowledge to one of the best high school teachers in Canada if not in the world, Dr. Bruce White, along with other good teachers in my school @ Vincent Massey SS in Windsor ON. he made our school pretty much one of the best high schools for math in North America. I'd like to take this chance and thank him. he gave me these ideas of course, along with the arguments and proofs for everything he taught me. what i have told you is what he taught me (thats how i know i am correct the most time if not all the times lol, cause i believe that Dr. White is right).
As an undergraduate I was a Math and Computer Science major. Currently pursueing a PhD in Computer Science though. More money in computers then math. Maybe after I get my first PhD I will try for another in math. But the highest numbered course I have taken is Advanced Abstract Algebra.
The highest math I have taken is OAC calculus, next year i will be taking OAC finite but i am not out of highschool yet so that really doesn't count :p
Masterbandit666, you lecture? OK, then you shurely top me. :D :D I'm off to Cambridge or Warwick Uni in Sept/Oct...

And of course A* GCSE Maths
You'd have to be a wombat not to have GCSE A* maths these days...
So that's OCR P5 S2 M3 D1, that's a very balanced selection! Which specification did you do?
I took P6 M4 S2, and that was in 1995. That's the default requirements for Further Mathematics with a mechanics bias...
You mind me asking what grades you got?
Am awaiting P4, P5, D1 results on 15th August - hopefully As :p.
Other results:
A - Probability & Statistics 1
B - Probability & Statistics 2
A - Pure Mathematics 1
A - Pure Mathematics 2
A - Pure Mathematics 3
A - Mechanics 1
A - Mechanics 2
A - Mechanics 3
Sorry about that blemish of a B there!
Took STEP papers I, II, III this summer. They may be the first maths exams I ever fail :-/...
Math 10 - Introduction to Remedial College Algebra for those with lower double digit IQ's.
Math 20 - Intermediate Remedial College Algebra for Idiots
Math 30 - Advanced Remedial College Algebra for Dummies "Oh, so you think you're smart now!"
Honest that was the name of the class!
As Bugz put it nicely: "i am still 5 years away from a third-year math course in college" ( i am in Aust, so the year i am in is called yr 10) -however, maths is a good source of income here :D :p
However, i don't know what it would take to do those subjects in Australia, but i probably will be doing a Maths and computer sciences course. Kill two birds with one stone.
Anyway, though it is of little interest, the hardest course i've taken and completed is Yr 9 Maths :p. (My school doesn't really like allowing people to do higher subjects than their current year.) However next year i *might* be able to do a bit of Uni-maths (counted in my Yr11 & 12 results, not as a separate Uni course)
Don't be surprised sql-lall
A lot of people in here are Americans ... do I need to say more?
American Education ... uhum :)
you get the point
Belgium still has the highest Education of the world :D

I will be a senior in high school this year taking calc 2. I took the AP Calc, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry exams this year and gots 5's on all of them.
quite modest compared to most of you
