How good are you at mathemathics?

No, things like billion dollar defraudments.

Since you're clearly quite smart, you can fill any small holes from skipping earlier stuff as you go along. For example, I never formally took much multivariable calculus or linear algebra, but still have to problems with the introductory real analysis course I'm taking. I also strongly recommend a general topology class; it requires very little background and is quite interesting!

Not possible. We have a linear math curriculum.

(BTW, where do you live? Somehow I have some memory of your "location" field formerly saying somewhere in missouri (I'm in St. Louis))

Northern Virginia.

Does that involve using any maths you didn't already know at 14?

With the exception of derivative markets, no.

I would point out however that a 14 year could not do my job.

I'm beginning Calculus now.

I've always been in the honors/advanced program since 2nd grade, and I've been in the top third of the class every year.

I will get to Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus before graduating High School, and I'll do some more math in college.

Yeah. We belive you. mmmkay?

I would still recommend you try to find a way around the system...
