I've had all the calc Carnegie Mellon had to offer. I have a degree in computer and electrical engineering from there, so I had a lot of voodoo math (the kind engineers use to work in the frequency domain, etc), probability and statistics, as well as a lot of physics, EM wave theory, QM (as it applies to substrates and such in semiconductor design), chemistry, etc. From there I've studied a lot on my own - into relativity theory and QM.

Please, you're giving me painful flashbacks! EM waves I and II (and III?)... *shudder* That was a HARD class, and the professor was one of the brightest people I've known. He thought I understood what was going on because I would nod at him when he needed reassurance, whereas everyone else had that glassed-over look. I would also watch his algebra when I couldn't follow the physics, then find theory errors at the end based on his algebra errors. So he thought I really knew what was going on... until the exams.
