What are some topics which were covered in your siblings' high school math textbooks which weren't required for your degree from a university? (You say "from an engineering school", but it's not clear if it was an engineering degree.)
- TallGuyShort 7y agoDegree was computer engineering - less calculus than mechanical engineering, but all degrees from that department had a base standard of some 200-level courses from the math dept. for science & engineering majors. Linear algebra was probably most lacking - as it only covered system of equations and basic matrix operations and properties. Eigenvectors, subspaces, etc. I've had to learn all that myself. Calculus never actually exceeded AP calculus as taught in a US high school. Statistics included a pretty similar set of concepts, though the problems were much simpler (fewer layers of conditional probability) and didn't cover quite as many example of tests & methods, etc.
