Seriously... There are Pill Bugs out there with more mathmatical abilities than me.
What do you want to talk about Jinx?
Fourier Series?
Cepstral Analysis?
Kepplerian Orbital Physics?
Predictive/Adaptive filtering?
Groups, Rings and Fields?
Toeplitz matrix inversion techniques?
Anyone really good at algebra?

Aced college algebra twice, sweetie. I'm rusty, but usually can pick it up quick again. I'll do what I can.

I think as long as I actually go to class and do the homework I'll be okay. That's what was lacking the last time I took it many years ago. :uhsure:

My BS is in math, but I'm not that crazy about it these days.
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “The kingdom of heaven is like three x squared plus five x minus four.†And while Thomas did some math in his head Peter asked John, “What is he talking about?†and John replied. “Don’t worry it is just one of his parabolas

I tutored my mom in it last fall, and I'll be tutoring my boss this fall, so I can throw a little help your way if need be.
Stick with me, and you'll amaze your professor by submitting proofs of the concepts your fellow students are struggling with. :-)

Are we talking physics and philosophy, or computer science? I know a wee bit about the former, very little about the latter.
Or do you mean relations as per algebra? I've never heard the term "relational theory" in that context but then again, I'm still a lowly undergrad. :-)
Or if you were referring directly to my query about category theory, I guess you'd mean functors and the like? :confused:

Mia....I managed to pass Statistics....only because I never missed class, not because I knew anything. My prof told me he felt sorry for me, it was a required course for my major, but I would probably never use it and by giving me a D, I didn't have to retake it.
Though now days, since you can use programmable calculators, you will do fine.....my daugther aced all her college math classes...she will admit it was because of her calculator.
When I was in school....we had to use an abacus. ::)
(not really....but we did have to use a slide rule...which is an invention of the devil! :banghead:)
What's a "Rhinocerus"?

Eventually down the road I have to take two statistics courses. :( Gotta pass the damned college algebra first!

Mia....my daughter was so/so in math in high school. In college, she had to take algebra, 2 statistics, calculus, and she also took 2 accounting classes....she aced them all. I was so worried when she had to do the statistics....I was soooo proud of her.
Get a really good calculator. I'm sure someone here can recommend one. I know her's was around a $120 several years ago when she got it. It got her through all her math classes in college and her radiology tech program.
She had study groups with a couple of hers, and I know she went to them alot (she was living at home until she was about 24)....especially before tests or exams.
If you can afford it and if your courses allow it, you'll want a TI-89 calculator. If/when you take calculus, you'll be glad to have it.

For college algebra, however, all you'll need (and all you'll likely be allowed to use, if calculators are permitted at all) is a standard scientific calculator. You'll probably spend around $20 on one of those, although like anything else, you might find a good deal somewhere. Just make sure it's a scientific calculator - the standard type doesn't have all the functions that you'll need, nor do they follow order of operations.
You will do great!!!!
Identify yourselves, nerds. :tongue: No, seriously, please.
Hell, I remember when the TI-51 was the "cat's meow" when it came out........ oh shit, I've dated myself !!! :o
Whippersnappers, the Post Versalog was the calculating device of choice when I was a freshman. How many of you know what that was?

A slide rule - I only know because my Uncle John gave me his. He knows I love geek paraphanalia. :-)

Fortunately (in a sense) my lack of dedication to classroom attendance eventually meant that I never had to learn to use it to its full capabilities, and I finished up with a BA with a double major in Crim and Soc, instead of a BS in Engineering.

And why I ended up with a BA with a major in Sociology with a concentration in Criminal Justice, minors in Psych and Anthropology instead of a BS in Medical Technology.
