Degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, A Level Maths, A Level Further Maths. Don't use them at all. What a waste of time that was.

What is your level of maths knowledge? And do you apply any of it to your job?

Very good and yes.

Feeling brave, I bought Dummies Guide to Calculus. It seems I am a complete maths feckwit, as I failed to understand any of it.

i did advanced degree level mathematics as part of my civil engineering degree. Mechanics and Calculas being the areas widely taught.

I havent used any of it whatsoever and i have forgot it all!

Want to buy a slightly used, and angrily defaced copy of Dummies Guide to Calculus, then?
