My pre-college math progression was similar to yours, then 4+ years of math in college while pursuing an engineering degree.I was just thinking about this the other day. For me it was:
Probably? I'm unsure of this answer. He is a freshman, in advanced math, the school year just started but currently all his grades in math are 100.
8th grade - Algebra
9th grade - Algebra II
10th grade - Advanced Geometry
11th grade - Advanced Math (Trigonometry)
12th grade - Calculus
But that was long, long, long ago (shortly after the dinosaurs were wiped out!).
Any of you have a similar progression?
What is the progression today?
By my experience he's 2 years ahead of where I was. And, I was accepted early decision at a math / science / engineering college. But decided as a high school senior that I did not think I was cut out to be an engineer. That was based upon my drafting class. I'd chosen that class because I wanted one class without homework. However, I could never imagine that missing third view and even in my limited naivete I thought that was something necessary to be an engineer. I'm pure logic with no intuition. I assume engineers have plenty of the latter (of course, with plenty of the former, also)?
To this day, I still remember the enlightenment that came in Calculus when the meaning of infinity and zero were finally understood mathmatically.
