I think you're taking my post way to seriously, pretty uncharacteristic for this forum. but i guess theres always a few softies in the group. and yes thats right, way to go posting my response after about 10 pages of flames, AND omitting what I said to those that gave back positive feedback. Lastly you say good math skills are all you need, but thats not it. You need to have been very math intensive while you were in undergrad to go into FE. How do you expect him to solve P.D.E's with only calc 2, or solve stocastic calc problems, while just taking the one for non math majors. A lot of places want you to take 2 of the real prob. and statistic courses. I'm not trying to be mean here, but FE is for people who are very serious about math.
