Re: Praxis ii middle school math
Posted by Pragmatic on 4/21/08

    It's a fundamental physical representation of matrix multiplication:
    translation, rotation, dilation, eigenvectors? eigenvalues?

    You got a MASTER'S in math and never had this stuff? Was it a masters in
    education with a math specialization that didn't require you to know any
    advanced math? Linear algebra follows your freshman and sophomore calculus
    classes. It's not like you can not have it and still be a math major.

    Partial Differential Equations weren't required for my B.S. in math, so I
    didn't study Black-Scholes. Newton's Forward Difference I've seen.
    lognormal distributions are part of statistics, and while they're not
    technically required for a pure math major, I saw them in my basic
    statistics class.

    The classes you're talking about are usually part of an engineering or
    science major, where my degree was pure math, but regardless, Linear Algebra
    is still a hard requirement for most any math major.

    I find it really really really hard to believe that you didn't get geometric
    transformations anywhere during school.

    Pragmatic
