My math courses were Algebra, Geometry, Precalc, AP Calc. I think I could have done AP Statistics but chose to take more science courses instead. Granted, I went to a nerd magnet school.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I know we did probablility and very rudimentary statistics, but I went to high school in NYS where we had math called Course One, Course Two and Course 3, with everything all mixed up in them. I think it was course 2.

Because books.
Now I remember a friend taking a statistics course in high school. Hmm. This is all for a pretty throwaway line in something I'm writing, so I'm not sure how much it matters, but thanks, all.
My math courses were algebra I, algebra II remedial, and I think that was it. I managed to get away with some completely bullshit math survey course freshman year of college -- we read Flatland and the annotated Alice in Wonderland, and didn't actually ever *do* a math problem, if I remember right. My math phobia was pretty hardcore.

Happy birthday, msbelle! I will think pink all day in honor of the occasion.
So, Emmett has been accepted into three colleges already. So he's going somewhere next year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My math phobia was pretty hardcore.
I'm pretty sure my mother took Greek instead of math in college.
I feel like there was some probability in there, but my college-track HS math classes back in Olden Tymes were geometry, algebra II, pre-calc, and calc.
I went to a different lunch place and chose wrong. But the place has potential!
Congrats, Emmett! Where does he want to go?
