Nope, it's a trail of your errors so your boss can research how bad you are for their enterprise. I preefer to make my own CV and get hired as usual.

Between two equally skilled people, one with a squeaky clean fb and one without one, I'd bank on the first guy getting hired

With the new timeline now you can go back and delete any of the embarrassing shit anyway.

But it doesn't say complex algebra. I think the point of OP is that a lot of people don't know how much the term "algebra" actually covers.

Halfway done (2 years in) to my biological systems/biomedical engineering degree. Minors in math and chemistry.

Doing an internship this summer helping R+D for a medical imaging software firm.

Ha thanks. Why can't you do something like it yourself?
The chem, math, and engineering classes like statics and fluid mechanics can get pretty tedious, but the bio. engineering classes are fairly straightforward and really interesting. This fall I'm taking "Transfer properties of biological materials" and "Modeling I for BSEN." Also taking Engineering Mechanics, Diff. EQ II, and P.Chem

>> No.4587018

Any older students in your classes?

I'm going back to school for a molecular biology degree - blew it the first time around on the social "sciences".

Going to take a few u-grad courses and apply directly to a grad program.

I can kinda understand what it's saying.

Very few people go into a job where they have to do math that can't be easily done with a calculator.

And in many jobs, you don't even need a full understanding of what exactly you're doing, just that it works.

So it's understandable why many people will think Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Geometry, and pretty much anything that isn't basic arithmetic is absolutely pointless.
