Lol. You're telling this to a person who had to take Alg.2 two years in a row

If you do it with your fellow students around they'll get some practical experience in fluid dynamics.

Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.

My friend just took fluid dynamics this past quarter...pretty gnarly stuff. And I thought quantum chem was tough when I took it...

Engineer? Mechanical?

I think I have to take up to Calculus 1. God, I am NOT looking forward to that. I'm glad I'm going for engineering, they have to take Calc.3 and then there's MORE after that. Depending on major, there's fluid dynamics, which is like Calc+Physics. I'd probably slit my throat right then.
Design Engineer w/ degree in Industrial Technology. I got off easy with math too, but there's math in everything you do; it's the most practical thing you'll ever learn, so remember all of it.

Eff that. I don't care what you say. I'll never need to know what the vertex of a parabola is, where I want to go. I'll never need to Expand and logarithm ever again, and I'll certainly never deal with imaginary numbers, ever again.

Maybe I'll keep PEMDAS, and the Quadratic Formula in my head, but other than that.. WASTE OF TIME. Don't care what anyone says. I won't take anything from Alg.2 with me in my career. I won't allow it :LOL
