Quoth Primer View PostChromatix, pick up any basic algebra text, anywhere. If we can get them through high school level algebra, those who want to can usually handle trig and calculus. The biggest hurdle is NOT a poor background in math, but rather, poor reading skills.

I recall taking a verbal studies part and a math part (scored way higher on the verbal than I did math, but I digress) so I'm guessing sometime during the 80's it could have been changed.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)
