Cal 2 in high school. Though I was in the hospital for the AP exam so I will have to take Cal 1 and Cal 2 again in college.
What is your major? My civil engineering classes required me to take high level math. I didn’t finish my classes though. I took trig and logarithms. Never made it to calculus.

My majors will me math and computer science. I will be in college this fall. Considering stopping my meds when I get there. I tell myself that’s a bad idea. Honestly calculus is easier that trig. The most important thing in trig is the unit circle, which you will need for calculus.

That’s very cool 
. I have an uncle who has a business degree but he is a math geek.

Algebra 2 in highschool.
I was doing good with precalculus for engineering and science in college until my mom died and I dropped out. First test half the class failed and only 3 people got As and I was one of them. I overheard 2 guys saying they wondered who the third A was but I didn’t say anything.

I was in the 8th grade when my mom got sick before she died. I went from making As to Ds and Fs. It was hard. I was 13.
I was so unpopular in high school that I had to make good grades. It was something no one could take from me.
Being unpopular is hard. I grew up thinking I was ugly and didn’t matter or measure up.
College physics I got an a minus in the class. That was back when I was smart

I remember being smart. I really miss it.
I made an A in engineering physics but in high school we studied vectors and I just didn’t get vectors. I think I got a D in that class.

I want to study calculus based physics at community college someday. I never did physics, really. It’s one of the items on my bucket list.

Calculus I. It was miles away from what I needed for a Meteorology degree but enough to get a Associate’s in History. But now that I’m no longer chasing my twin’s shadow that is of little concern to me.

It is essentially math logic. Set theory, boolean algebra, modular arithmetic. Computer Science often encourages Discrete.

The only reason I did so well in that class was because I got tutoring. The teacher stayed an hour after class.

I made it through two years of engineering mathematics, but failed the third year. I couldn’t wrap my head around Fourier analysis. This was years before I developed sz.

Algebra I, I think. I could’ve gone much further, but my social phobia forced me to drop out of college early. I liked math then, I like it more now and would like to return to studying it someday, probably through Khan Academy.

I like maths. As i worked as a baker i calculated basic maths. The amount of dough and ingredients.
I am not good at chemistry and languages.
When i learned economics i had no problems with maths either. I think i could selfteach maths, but its to late for me now.

i was great at maths up until i took an advanced maths course in grade 10 and the teacher was super fast and i have slow processing speed so i fell behind. then i gave up on maths and barely passed senior maths because i didn’t study i just slept in class and drew pictures. i told myself i wasn’t naturally good at maths. i did a statistics course in university for psychology and got a distinction. i think what i said about myself being born to be bad at maths during school was rubbish and now i am teaching myself maths with the dummies books. i am starting with pre-algebra and basic maths. i am going through all the maths dummies books and maybe teach myself basic physics as well. just because i want to prove myself wrong that i was born to be bad at maths just because i got a bad grade once. i want to get my masters to become a librarian. and i can learn a lot in that career or speciality. but maybe one day i can study a degree in maths or physics. it was actually my high school dream to study physics until i gave up on maths.

I took trig as part of my civil engineering classes. I didn’t go any further than that bc I didn’t finish all the classes.

Up to GCSEs, which are exams done when 16 in secondary school in the UK. There’s are two papers calculator and non calculator. I’ve forgotten everything now.
