Apparently I've confused you, dear readers, about the status of math classes and me.
1. The class I wanted to take is Math 1050 (er, wanted is used loosely here; I am required to take either it or 1090).
2. The class I took and passed two years ago is Math 1010.
3. To get into Math 1050, I either needed at least a C in Math 1010 in the last year OR at least a 69 on the Math Placement Test.
4. I GOT A FREAKIN' 88 ON THE MATH PLACEMENT TEST!!! !!!, which is totally deserving of all caps and three + three exclamation marks. (Just a bit of math there, or really just a bit of arithmetic. Math, as in algebra math would be more like 3!!! + 3!!! = 6!!!)

actually... to be a little nit-picky.
3!!! + 3!!! does not equal 6!!!
3!!! = 2601218943565795100204903227081043611191521875016945785727541837850835631156947382240678577958130457082619920575892247259536641565162052015873791984587740832529105244690388811884123764341191951045505346658616243271940197113909845536727278537099345629855586719369774070003700430783758997420676784016967207846280629229032107161669867260548988445514257193985499448939594496064045132362140265986193073249369770477606067680670176491669403034819961881455625195592566918830825514942947596537274845624628824234526597789737740896466553992435928786212515967483220976029505696699927284670563747137533019248313587076125412683415860129447566011455420749589952563543068288634631084965650682771552996256790845235702552186222358130016700834523443236821935793184701956510729781804354173890560727428048583995919729021726612291298420516067579036232337699453964191475175567557695392233803056825308599977441675784352815913461340394604901269542028838347101363733824484506660093348484440711931292537694657354337375724772230181534032647177531984537341478674327048457983786618703257405938924215709695994630557521063203263493209220738320923356309923267504401701760572026010829288042335606643089888710297380797578013056049576342838683057190662205291174822510536697756603029574043387983471518552602805333866357139101046336419769097397432285994219837046979109956303389604675889865795711176566670039156748153115943980043625399399731203066490601325311304719028898491856203766669164468791125249193754425845895000311561682974304641142538074897281723375955380661719801404677935614793635266265683339509760000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
but 6!!! equals the factorial of that outrageously huge number. I can't find me a calculator that will do that computation. Suffice it to say, that would be a really big (really really big) number.
If you had wanted to I suppose you could have said something like 3!! = 6! (or even 3!!! = 6!!).
Just saying, that's all :)
Oh my gosh this comment was too funny! Stu just gave me (an accountant) a huge ha ha ha ha ha!
