I had no math and statistics background in college, how should I do to prove that I have math ability? I'm thinking an online university course that's accredited, but they all require one or two year time study...I can self study the two courses on the internet, but this can not prove that I'm qualified in math...how should I do? can anyone give me some suggestion?

Dear ayfzb,
I'm happy to respond. The purpose of the GMAT is to demonstrate to b-schools your academic ability. I would think that if you produce a commanding performance on both the GMAT Quant section and the IR section, that would be more the sufficient to convey to the b-schools ---- I know my math.
Does this make sense?
Mike :-)

Frankly, there's something off w/ your English grammar as well; you might want to improve in that aspect.

Thank you Mike, yeah, I've taken GMAT test and Quant 51, IR6, but HAAS has very clear requirement about the quantitative proficiency:All applicants should have completed, at a minimum, a college-level mathematics or statistics course. So I've decided to take some online class fullfill this requirement. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you Blax0r, you are right, my grammar sucks, hope I can improve it but...difficult for me.
