Body:
I had August Knoche for one semester after I had Mr. Levi(?) for Algebra-Trig the first term and was simply not ready for it. So I spent the remainder of the year w/Knoche taking Algebra III-IV. Unusual guy. I think he had pity on me for aspiring beyond my range and missing the mark. My attitude left a lot to be desired, having been brought down a notch. He seemed to have a certain smile for me that said 'you aren't so smart after all, eh....' Barely earned a B, and glad to be done with it. Paid the price in college when I had to take some additional math courses required for econ. But those instuctors got me back on track, I remember them with gratitude. Upon acceptance at grad. school, spent the prior summer, self-learning in two mathematical economics textbooks (which I still have on my shelf, sort of icons to the summer from hell), so that I wouldn't get washed out there. Sure glad I did, as my grad. student colleagues could run math circles round me. But in the end obtained just enough math & stat. to make it through and publish a thesis. My department had attached to it a research methods expert who did nothing but help troubleshoot the link between student research and the computer center (SPSS programs, etc.) - immense help, and I learned a lot from her. Thirty-four years later I can still actually read and understand my own master's thesis. BTW, best book on research methodology I ever read (& still have it, too) was 'The Logic of Survey Analysis,' Morris Rosenberg. Among other things it has helped me many times detect lying with statistics, something that is done occasionally, no?
