Question Mark

Well, I wouldn't say that the truly "higher" branches of mathematics should be required, but most people misunderstand the true nature of learning mathematics: math teaches you how to solve problems; not just numeric problems, but any kind of problem.

On the other hand, I am more than a little biased since my training is in math. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
