We have some pretty savvy mathematicians here, so I thought that I'd post a poll.

If you'd reply with your highest class and your major or profession that might provide some interesting insight.

If you hate them, why are you taking them? (Perhaps more appropriately: "Why don't you change your major?")

Diff. EQ for a Mech. Engineering degree, although I did take a class in the Philosiphy dept. that was pretty heavy on number theory. When that class ate my lunch, I knew I'd be a good fit in the Marine Corps

These days, I can count to ten (most days) working as an airline pilot.

Cheers -

Various applied math... I'm a working aerospace engineer and currently in grad school part time (helicopter aerodynamics, going for a PhD if I can stick it out that long).
