1. email Jim Cantore at the weather channel.
2. At least through calculus.
3. You will need at least the following math courses: Calculus courses that cover the following subjects: Functions, limits, continuity. Slope and derivative. Differentiation of algebraic and transcendental functions. Applications to motion, natural growth, graphing, extrema of a function. Differentials. L'Hopital's rule. Definition of definite integral, fundamental theorem of calculus, techniques of integration. Application to area, volume, arc length, average of a function, improper integral, surface of revolution. Sequences, series, tests for convergence, Taylor expansions. Vector algebra, vector calculus, scalar and vector fields. Partial derivatives, total differentials. Applications to maximum and minimum problems in two or more variables. Applications to physical systems. Vector Analysis that covers the follow subjects: Definite integrals over plane and solid regions in various coordinate systems. Line and surface integrals. Green's theorem, Stoke's theorem, divergence theorem Linear Algebra that covers the following subjects: Matrices and linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonalization, factorization. Matlab and its use in linear algebra. Differential Equations that covers solutions of elementary differential equations.
