I took Linear Algebra as a sophmore, and it is so useful in physics (X and dot products) , solving linear systems (determinants), etc. Black-Scholes I believe would be part of a business course. Prior to teaching, I was an options trader, and did my own calcs of options prices (which is where Black-Scholes comes into play) I believe there are too many math teacher wannabees out there, who major in subjects other than math, but come crawling out of the woodwork with a sudden interest in math, because it is a "shortage" area as far as jobs go. My state(Connecticut) lowered the Passing 0061 PRAXIS score to 137 from 141. They did this because they wanted to keep the pass rates consistent with other subjects. Perhaps we should hold neuro-surgeons to the same standard as computer programmers? Posts on this thread, including this one Re: Praxis ii middle school math, 4/20/08, by LJ.
