You honestly don't see a good use for Topology, or Linear Algebra? :( :(


If I were in charge of ranging artillery, perhaps....or, making models of a suspected terrorist environment for SF deployment.

Fortunately, I'm no longer physically capable of such employment (or, any other).

Well after 37 years out of 8th grade I made 4/10....the ones I actually answered were right...the 6 I guessed at because I couldn't remember the formulas I missed...go figure...math wasn't my thing either :)

Headache.....Headache........ :na: Oh, I hate math all the way around. I had to take early retirement, the only thing I need math for now is to count my cash at the bank when I get my check.

Mathmatics is the most wonderful and elegant form of abstract thought. In what other pursuit can two different people arrive at the same answer? For me, fatigue set in after diffy equations. Then I got a D in Linear Algebra.
