    Default What is your education in math/compsci?

    Im looking around these forums, and I realize most of you have taken some sort of compsci class, or maybe you guys are still in high school tinkering around.

    Im in my Senior year of high school, and unfortunately I have not taken the AP computer science class, (chose to take AP physics instead this year)

    Im wondering, what is your educational background in programming, and math? For math, you can just put the level of math (algebra, calculus I,II, multivariable, etc.)

    Im a freshman and the USA Georgia math curriculum is screwed up!

    Okay to make a long story short, our math curriculum tells teachers to facilitate learning. So they hand you a worksheet and if you have questions you ask.

    I was doing so well in math. I had all As in math through middle school and a math award 2 years in a row. I was recommended for accelerated math in high school so I said yes.

    At the beginning of the year I had an F. I have a B and a tutor now. A TUTOR! I'm a f***ing programmer! lol

    Our class (09) is screwed because we have to test this new curriculum that isn't working. Half of the kids in accelerated math in middle school failed out.

    Anyway if you made it this far, gratz. I know you really don't care so thanks! XD

    Oh, anyway! I am taking Algebra II. It is a mixture of Trig, Geometry and stuff.

    I'm a freshman in High School, and sadly our school doesn't offer computer science courses >_< (Tbh I never really enjoy programming, but it does interest me) And I'm taking Honors Algebra II (I think it includes Trig later in the year) this year, and I've already taken Geometry and (obviously) Algebra I.

    EDIT: Wow, nice math skills there autrefois I'll probably only get to take Calculus II as a senior (assuming I don't fail anything, lol).

    Taking Calc BC (aka calculus I & II) next year; woot for free college creds!

    EDIT: Also taking AP Java
    Interested in C# and Electrical Engineering? This might interest you.

    Freshman in high school, taking Web Design and Graphic Design. Taken and passed several typing classes, and programmed using VB6 for 2 years. I also tinkered with graphics for a year and a half. Currently taking College Prep Algebra I, although I could be in Geometry.

    I'm interested in VB, .NET, SCAR, Java, CSS, HTML, JS, and graphics.
    Although I haven't been taught any of the above professionally, except for graphics.

    I'm never taking a typing class again! I had a fat black woman that liked to rub your shoulders; and I'd always finish the lesson before everyone else, and she'd keep making me redo it until everyone was done. I had to do it at least 2, sometimes 3 times before anyone else was done...

    (BTW, .NET isn't a programming language)

    .NET isn't a programming language, no, it's a framework.

    I meant I like all of the programming languages included in .NET.

    Yeah. It's quite common in my school.

    We use Macs, with all kinds of expensive programs xD.

    A lot of people do it for a free period though.
    Even though they get F's. lol.

    I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm taking Honors Algebra II and Compsci, so hopefully I can learn enough to try to actually make a script.

    Im currently taking calc III (multivariable / vector calculous)

    Im currently using OGRE with C++ (G++ with CODE::BLOCKS IDE) to do my coding and im teaching myself how to game program. I have taken two college level courses in programming and there are many more to come. Im 2 years from my degree in computer engineering.

    edit: i have bought and read "AI for game developers" by o'Reilly, PRO OGRE 3D programming by Junker, various c++ books, and im working on "Introducing character animation with blender" by Mullen

    (im 19, too old to play runescape, but meh whatever)

    (OGRE is an object oriented graphics rendering engine, in other words its an SDK that does 3 dimensional linear algebra for you)

    I will post a short vid of what i have so far if anyone is interested. its nothing special other than a 3d scene with a 3rd person camera behind a ninja mesh that moves along the XZ axis. I could send an EXE but, i use linux so unless you have a GNOME version of linux we will have to go through hell and back for that to work... lol



    EDIT: after re reading my post, i have seen that i look like the biggest dork in the world... lol
