How much math do you know? (as in what was the highest level of math you ever passed or are currently learning)

Don't be a smart alec and use your two options for the same question.

For instance, you Americans still use base ten. In my country, we use base pi.

So is it possible to find an infinite sequence of distinct Gaussian prime numbers such that the difference between consecutive numbers in the sequence is bounded?

I believe that I go up to Vector/multivariable Calculus, is that just before university level maths, first year of university level maths or deep into a university course?

I really love math, and respect it alot. I think it is amazing what they can do with numbers.

Problem is I suck at it :)

I have a degree in Marketing, so I have taken alot of business maths and statistic courses. But that's not the fun math :P

I selected Algebra and Abstract Algebra, although I don't know much of it myself :)

I never thought I'd say this to you, but I think you missed the point.

When the hell do we need anything other than Arithmetic in everyday life?

Sometimes, I'm just walking down the street, look to the sky, and I realize that I need to know
\bold{v}_1 \bot \cdot\bold{v}_2 = \left | \bold{v}_1 \times \bold{v}_2 \right | = \left | \bold{v}_1 \right | \left | \bold{v}_2 \right | \sin\theta
