That is cool.
Standard math load out for Catholic school in the 1970's: Algebra 1&2, Calc 1&2, Statistics, Geometry, and the two courses that changed my outlook: Probability and very basic modelling.
College was heavy on statistic, probablity and modelling because I loved it, especially pertaining to Economics.
My family is full of math savants, I kid you not. However, whatever "it" is skipped right past me...I had to work at it.
My partner is a Michigan Aero undergrad and has a master in Aero and something else from Standford. Bright boy.
I walked in the conference room one day and he was working with one of Aero folks, a young woman from Wyoming who is getting her PhD in Aero. There was math all over the walls, the kind of stuff that gives me vertigo. I asked Paul and Meg if they can "see" what the numbers will make, the outer mold lines, etc.
"Yup".
Clearly my math elevator doesn't go to Concierge Level
