...and math through Calculus III and deferential equations.

Were you properly respectful towards these deferential equations, then?

Sadly, the spellchecker can't always save you from yourself :-/

You are completely correct. It is "differential" equations.

General rule; if they took the course, and they learned nothing else, they learned the name of the course.

As someone who has always been 'mathematically challenged' and would rather undergo root canal work than face a calculus exam, let me say I really like the idea of "deferential equations." With respect, Senator, surely you've got the wrong end here; a 'deferential' equation is not one requiring respect, but one which is kind, compliment, and otherwise deferential to would-be solvers who are, like myself, not terribly good at math.
