The econ guy I know best actually seemed to have learned some diff eq. Not enough, of course, but some. He seemed to be able to do everything up to and including integrating factors. Watered down version of the ODE class I took (no Laplace transforms, no understanding of systems of interrelated ODEs, etc.). I don't see how you could manage with any less...

Computer graphics are fun!
I'm actually working on a 3D asteroids game with some buddies (I'm doing the 3D work), and I'm having a great time with it.

Even using cryptic stuff like vertex and pixel shaders! yay.

I like Abel. If memory serves me correctly he was the original hard-luck mathematician.

Didn't apply much group theory to physics, don't know much solid-state crap.

My Algebra 3 class is where I know my group stuff from. Favourite part was Sylow theorems...
