i happen to be in college, and could not have gotten there without passing algebra, geometry, and trigonomitry. You passed Trigonometry?
"Bump" to an entertaining read. Although, it would be nice to read some discussion regarding the substance of the original article.
RadioAstronomer, you are a class act.
Square root of three, divided by two will get you the ladder answer, exactly.

You passed Trigonometry? Hard to believe he passed English. Maybe he slept away in those classes too.

Hell, I'm just waiting for him to finally spell existence correctly.
Now, back to the universe thingy: Everything except us is standing still, we are just moving backwards really, really fast.

You know, I never even took trigonometry in high school (I was notoriously arithmephobic at the time). In college I only took the math courses required for a liberal arts degress (and none of those courses included trigonometry). I really didn't get into such things until I started playing "hard" science fiction wargames with their vector-based movement mechanics.
In other words, I don't believe trigonometry is a prerequisite for college.
