I know this has nothing to do with calculus, but i was wondering. What is a postsecondary program (referring to education)?

AFAIK, postsecondary education is all education after high-school (college, university, technical school, etc.).
 
How did you make the upside-down "?"

Calculus, anybody?... :smile:
 
ok: imho calculus instruction belongs solely in postsecondary education.
 
imho, chicks simply dig a nice Maxwell's Equation's t-shirt on the rugged man of today's society. :smile: :biggrin:
 
you surely do not have to know calculus to pick up chicks. in fact it has been known to be a handicap. but i will acknowledge this is a motivation to learn calc in secondary school, if valid. hint: picking up chicks has historically been mostly a matter of inviting them to dinner.
 
Hmm, i got some fan following (among girls) for calculus. All i have to do is solve their homeworks ... errr ... help them to do their homework that is. So its not really that bad ... in a way .... i suppose... ??
