I'd start with Algebra - it will help in the thought process and how to calculate
things. After that if there is one - Take Trig - lots of Geometry in it already
trig is calculations of angles... extension of algebra and then some. Geometry
is a little theory based - always some good - but some - depending on instruction
is not useful in a shop. The trig takes you where you need.

If you end up as a finance person - algebra will help. Algebra helps in calculations.

I'd say get an A in A!

I need to take a college level math course for a Bachelors degree that
I am working on. The school does not care what it is as long as it is
college level. So...what should I take that would be useful for my
little hobby machine shop? Geometry? Trigonometry? I was going to take
a Algebra class since I sort of know that already, but I thought I
would get opinions from the group first. I've never worked with
geometry or trig before (or at least that I know of), so give me an
idea what I would need them for.

BTW, my machine shop is a mini-lathe and a mini-mill. I build 1/8 scale
military models. I am working on my first one. I am hoping to get it
done in the next couple of months. I am building a fairly simple
trailer for my first model, but I want to get more detailed models as
my skills improve.

Thanks

Mike
