I know I'll regret this, but...
I've seen a lot of comments by folks that indicates a high level of
mathematical sofistication.  So I'm curious.

Please e-mail me as follows:

SUBJECT: discrete            If you've had Discrete Math.

SUBJECT: algebra2            If you've had a year-long senior level course
                               based on Fraliegh or some such.
SUBJECT: grad                If you've been to grad school in math.

SUBJECT: prelim              If you've passed your algebra prelim.
