Im curious how many people who post answers on the math section have had any post secondary math education. Some people have very bright and insightful answers, but some show true ignorance.

I just started my core classes in my math major in college, and I have great respect for those of you who have completed these programs.

I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering with a major research field of rocket propellant combustion modeling. I have some math teaching experience at both university and high school levels in the USA. I like math and enjoy teaching. I come here with one of the purposes to sharpen my English so that I can do better in my teaching because English is my third language. I wish someday I could become a welcomed math teacher in either a community college or a high school.

Well, I got my PHD in mathematics from Arizona
State University in 1968. I taught for some 33
years here at Bowling Green State University.
Now I still do some tutoring in both mathematics
and languages(my other specialty)and have
taught part time at a local community college
I enjoy answering some of the more challenging
questions here on Yahoo Answers.

Well that's a good question. You're challenging the credibility of internet answers (good for you). If it's online, don't take it seriously.
But I understand where you're coming from. I'm not a math major (almost was, but decided on a different path) but I'm currently taking many math courses as electives. When I feel I can give a GOOD answer to a question, I'll answer it. If I think I'm wrong, I'll note it.

a million. An instructor replaced into lecturing (mechanical engineering pupils) on stepped forward vectors, curls, etc., and a student asked of what use they have been. the instructor stared into area for no less than 5 minutes then persevered the lecture with out answering the question. you ought to hearken to the groans. 2. An instructor replaced into lecturing on Bessel applications while asked the comparable question. He spoke back that they may be used to evaluate warmth dissipation from an excellent concrete shape mutually with a dam, fending off cracks, etc. We had a minimum of one concrete reason to earnings Bessel applications. 3. I later study a e book that defined that those with technical issues ought to bypass to an (imaginary) shop to go with mathematical fashions (like choosing a suit) to sparkling up the subject, if the technique greater healthful. examining stepped forward math can help fill the shop with an excellent determination of suits that would greater healthful a subject some day. usually, working in the direction of engineers do no longer could go with a mathematical suit yet do could stick to somebody else's mathematical progression of a subject to appreciate its strengths, weaknesses and limitations in representing the authentic international. suited calculations can usually % out limits and adventure (friction factors) can hone the outcomes, etc.

I hold a bachelor's degree with majors in both mathematics and biology. Though I would say that I still have plenty left to learn in both. The degree of sophistication in some questioners queries and their accompanying responses is truly amazing in many cases. Consequently, I couldn't touch some of the topics covered in this section with a ten foot pole, though I might like to be able to do so someday.

I have over 20 years of experience teaching math for high school and also University level courses.
I'd say I'm overqualified for most of the questions here though. Not sure about the rest of the people answering math here.

Yes. I actually joke in my answers but most are right. I took advanced math classes in high school and college. From Algebra to Calculus.

I can't speak for others. I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering. I'm rusty on a lot of things, but some I still remember well.

I'm taking AP Calculus BC. first year college level and most of the questions here are still easy.
