Ah, proper maths expert! You do a lot of sewing, still, then?

I wouldn't say a lot, but I still do a fair amount of sewing, on my grandmother's old Kenmore.  I also have a serger.

Making clothes or mostly repairing them? Just how much maths did you end up doing, btw?

Mostly making dresses, costumes, stuffed animals and other stuff for my daughter.

That analysis class was the highest level math class I took.  I majored in Chemical Engineering and got a Master's degree.

Um, chemical engineering? What's that, then?

Um, chemical engineering? What's that, then?

That is kind of a broad question.  In a nutshell, it's the branch of engineering that focuses on chemistry and physics along with mathematics, economics and other areas.  So I took the same chemistry that the chemistry majors took, the same physics that the physics majors took, the same mathematics that the math majors took, up to the point of differential equations, complex variables, and linear algebra, classes in drafting and economics and classes in the other engineering branches like electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, along with the other courses required to get a degree.  I took the analysis class for fun.  It was the most rigorous engineering school at the universities where I got my BS and MS degrees. 


Here's the Wikipedia page on it if that gives you a broader view:

The area of chemical engineering that I did my thesis research in was process control.

Yeah, thanks! Analysis class for 'fun', huh? Wow. Um, did you get some related work, afterwards, then?

Not really although I did work in a chemistry lab.

I have also been a special education paraprofessional and I'm a behavior coach now.

Oh, OK. Coaching children?

[Callaway]

Oh, OK. Coaching children?

Mostly just one child at this point.

Did what work in a chemistry lab, then, please?

It doesn't really count if it's your own kid lol

[Adam]

btw having an Ask Away thread does not mean that you're willing to answer ANY question

[Callaway]

Did what work in a chemistry lab, then, please?

Synthesized chemicals that people needed.

Uh huh? Suspected it might be your own child, though. What else would you like to tell us?
