Hi,
you repeatedly calling me an idiot.
I've never called you an idiot, just ignorant of math. But if you feel that way, I'll not disagree.
I have no idea how I could have passed all those difficult engineering and mathematics courses at university
Simple. The math courses required for engineering (and, for that matter physics) are applied courses. They teach you how to solve problems, not how to do mathematics. Someone who truly knew what they knew would know that.
