high school and college calculus(回答)

先生のご指名にお答えしたいと思います。high school and college calculus - 田邉祐司ゼミ 常時英心:言葉の森から
赤字を含む段落は、容疑者がいかに「頭が良い」のかを説明していますね。earning以降は、頭の良さの具体例だと思います。
earning A'sということで、「Aの評価を取る」という意味から赤字の部分は具体的な科目があるのではと予想しました。特に、先生の「数学の計算方」というのもヒントになりますね。
ジーニアス英和辞典 第4版』(大修館)には「結石」・「計算法」の他に「微積分学」とあります。よって、ここの赤字の部分は「高校・大学の微積分は」という意味になるのではないでしょうか。
理系に進む生徒さんに対して、数学用語等幅広い表現を英語で言えるようになるためにもっとアンテナを張って勉強しなければいけないと思いました。(Minnesota)

A man dressed in a bulletproof vest and fire-resistant pants was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after a smoke grenade, gas mask, leg irons and weapons were discovered in his luggage, federal authorities said Tuesday.
Boston-bound Yongda Huang Harris, 28, was arrested Friday on suspicion of transporting hazardous materials on a flight from Kansai International Airport in Osaka, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
Harris was not cooperating with federal officials attempting to interview him, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an open investigation. The official said Harris is not believed to be linked to a terrorist organization, but his motive has not been determined.
Harris is a U.S. citizen whose permanent residence is in Boston, and he recently started living and working in Japan, officials said.
Harris has been charged with one count of transporting hazardous materials, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Harris made a brief court appearance Tuesday, and his detention hearing was postponed to Friday.
Harris’ retained attorney, Steven Seiden, was unavailable to comment, said Chris Williams, a spokesman for the lawyer.
Seiden is unclear what Harris had on his body and what he had checked in baggage, which will be crucial information to the defense, said Williams, who declined to comment on why Harris was carrying any of the weapons.
“It raises a lot of questions, and those questions will need to be answered. Right now the case is very early,” Williams said.
The defense attorney’s spokesman described Harris as “very intelligent,” earning A’s in high school and college calculus. Williams declined to elaborate on his background.
