what is the highest mathematics course you completed

[Hash]

Wow, I feel kind of retarded.

The last math course I took was IB Math Studies (otherwise known as Dumb Math), which is the basic IB course for dumbs who suck at math and will never do it again. There was one unit of intro to differential calculus and the program also included some trig, functions and stats aspects. What this would be equivalent to in the US, I'm not sure, so I voted 'never made it to calculus' though maybe parts of Dumb Math are covered in basic calc courses in the states. Additionally, I started a non-IB stats/data management class in Grade 12, but I dropped out after seeing that I would fail epically.

When I left the American system in Grade 9 I had completed Algebra I (which made me one of the slow dumbs, while the smart people did Geometry).

edit: to quote from IBO: "The IB Diploma Programme mathematical studies course, available in standard level only, is for students with varied backgrounds and abilities. The course is designed to build confidence and encourage an appreciation of mathematics in students who do not anticipate a need for mathematics in their future studies." -- aka, for dumb kids who can't do math for sh**t and would not take math if they could

I passed college Algebra, dropped out of college Trig.

I've done through multivariate calculus, diffeq, linear, proofs, probability. I'll be taking advanced linear next quarter, and then maybe some sort of topology or analysis in grad school.

I am in Geometry right now. I might not pass this year, but I think I will be able to squeeze by as of today. I have always struggled in all of my math classes, going back to third grade.

[JerryArkansas]

right now I am in both Geometry and in Algerbra II, my grade in the later is higher, and I might take A.P. trig.

[MaxQue]

I did three maths courses in College, which were named Calculus 1, Calculus 2 and "Linear Algebra and Vectorial Geometry".

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

AP Calc BC. I have no idea what level that is, but there you have it.

[King]

College Algebra.

I got into 400 level at statistics though.  It interested me more.

My highest HS math class was Pre-Calculus, which in my school district was essentially regular Calculus (so I voted Calculus 1). I did get a 5-point A out it. I could've gone further in HS, but I didn't bother as I had already had more math credits than necessary to graduate (four as opposed to the required three). Even though I've always been very good at math, I've never really had much of an interest.

In Australia during VCE, you've got

Further Maths - Which is practical applications, a considered a 'dumber' maths.

Maths Methods - Which is what most people do.

& Specialist Maths - Which is like ridiculous.

I do methods atm.

This basically applies to me, though I didn't really start struggling with math until around 7th grade, when I was in Pre-Algebra. I barely squeaked by, and ended up failing Algebra I the next year, so I was sent back to Pre-Al in the middle of 8th grade.

Math sucks.

Long Calc I. When I was in college, they offered Calc I split in two sections, called Long Calc I (which was very popular) and Long Calc II (which was extremely unpopular), so that people who didn't care about math could have a joke math class to fulfill the one requirement. I don't know anybody who ever took Long Calc II, but I guess somebody muyst've at some point. Anybody interested in math either took AP Calc in high school or took regular Calc I. They also had an Accelerated Calc, for those who wanted to do Calc I and II in one semeseter. Usually these were people who had not done well enough on the AP exam to get credit but wanted to catch up with those who had.

[Frodo]

Algebra 3 Trigonometry -and if I had continued, it would have led to Precalculus and then Calculus itself.

When my college major was computer science, I was slated to take three semesters of calculus.  But, after doing reasonably well in calc I, I decided to change my major--for reasons other than the math.

[Foucaulf]

I am an undergraduate math major so "above and beyond" counts for me.

It's a rather odd situation, since I was not hugely into math in high school. I got my way to Calc BC in high school, but could not compare to the people who know how to problem solve their way through the math contests. Now I'm planning to buy books on Banach Spaces with the aim of surviving through graduate analysis.

Still can't problem solve worth a damn though - everything muon said could apply to me. Maybe that's why I want to go into theoretical social science instead of anything practical.

[Northeast Rep Snowball]

As a freshman I am in Algebra 2, next year doing Precalc Es then ending high school with Calc III.

[Redalgo]

The highest course I ever took at a university taught linear algebra. Math is one of those subjects where I am inclined to skate by with as little effort and with as few credits as possible.

I'm in 10th grade, taking Honors Precalc.

Since I'm thinking of becoming an actuary, I have a lot of math classes in the future that I haven't done yet.

Best career choice you could go with.  Great job market and high salaries.

Yeah, the job rankings/unemployment statistics for actuaries are phenomenal.  It seems that, if you can pass the exams, then it's a great idea.  When people ask me what I want to be when I grow up and I say "actuary", their first question is "What's an actuary?".  The fact that a lot of people don't know what an actuary even is makes it easier to get a job as one, as there is less competition as opposed to fields like engineering.
