Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house. -Heinlein

I've known plenty of engineers, programmers, and math gods who can barely tie their own shoes. Without their supporting family, they'd be living in squalid little apartments with only the mold in the fridge to keep them company.

I see that your answer to my question is YES. Fine by me.

FWIW - I finsihed algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus I and II, chemistry and physics by the time I was 16. I turn 45 next week and not a single one of those subjects ever helped me earn a living.
