what math have you had?

I'm currently in Algebra (Currently wrapping up parabolas) and have a good dose of logic....

I'm thinking of taking extra math courses, but I'm the kind of person who is paranoid, afraid of too many things, and is too goddamned lazy, so I guess good luck to me.

I am in 9th std

In India, the education system is very different.
I am 14 years old, so I am in 9th std.

in kindergarden (did i spell it right?) you learn basic add,subtract..
in fourth standard - adavnced division, multiplication.

5-8...area, volume, quadratic equaltions, linear equations in one unknown, etc..

in 9th std. maths is divided into 2, algebra and geomerty.
in geomerty, there is isoscles theorem, midpoint theorem, etc,etc,etc, etc, and a lot of etc.
more advanced in 10th std.

in 11th, i.e Junior College, you learn trig.

I learnt a lot of trig at this age only..for AVS you know.

I'm in precal/trig2 (again)...though I really should be in calculus by now... :grumbles:
as a matter of fact, i should be into second semester calculus, if it weren't for the fact that i can't get answers right the first time i do 'em. really, i AM good at math. i just can't ever do a problem right the first time, and i'm too compulsive to check them 😛

Im in the 9th grade here (15 years old) and curently i finished algebra with alot of stuff like ecuations(and the second grade one) functions.Parabolas are wrapped hehe and trig i did in the 7th grade.The schools here in Romania ask for a lot of knowledge and compared to other countries we do twice as much as they would do.For example i do in the 9th grade what you do in the 10th or 11th hehe

I've already graduated so i can say "I had it all!!!"

Most of it complex equations, analysis, integration and that kind of crap.

Algebra 3 / Trig i guess, im not very sure (10-nth grade tho)...
Mostly ive learned my math at home myself, in the school the math is just so god deam simple...

Jack you sound like Einstein lol.Anyway most of the algebra we learn has no connection to avs(except for some equations that only UnConed nixa or jheriko can use to but some mega scopes or DMs).Trig remains the base.

Can't answer the poll, it doesn't cater for those of us outside the USA. 🙂 I did Maths Methods in yr12 (I'm in first year TAFE now, no maths baby!!!), which entails graphing/equations, trig, calculus and probability (mainly distributions).

BTW, I really don't get the American maths system. Why do they divide each topic into its own subject?

Did you finish last year? If so, what was your ENTER? Mine was 77.75.

But magic,arent cos sin acos asin tan atan the most used functions for avs ? Except water+firewurx or blitter feedback 🙂 AVS = geometry (that is true!)

not where I come from...the '3' is the semester
so freshman year (or 8th grade if you're smart) is Algebra 1-2, Sophomore/Junior year is Algebra 3 / Trig (one semester of Algebra 3, one of trig)...and btw, Phaze, it is not a lot of geomtery because geometry is more dealing with properties of shapes, so AVS uses more trig and algebra...you can't just say 'draw rhombus' to make a rhombus.

hmm...i just noticed something...the people on the button that adds a person to your buddy list are all frowning

uNDefineD, I'm doing my final year, so I'll tell you next year 😉

And here, we only have a few groups of secondary level maths at year 11 and 12: Foundation (dumbass maths), General, Further (Year 12 General), Maths Methods (Yr 11 & 12), and Specialist Maths. I'm doing methods and specialist 😁, although methods has all been done before, the specialist is kinda fun, but only touches the basics of the more advanced maths.

i also learnt trig at home, using the internet. we have trig in 11th std, and I am still in 9th, i think that's what high school is. i get confused with the american education system. hardy boys were 17-18 yrs old and they went to high school, so those who go to junior college, they too are of the same age. after 12th std, you go to college and after three years, you graduate from college, i.e BSc, Bcom, BA or whatever. then you can furthur study and become MA, MSc, etc (master in sc.).
in India, we dont have so many branches of maths, just algebra and geomtry and you have to learn both. it's compulsary

Yeah, and all are used in Equations too.

Besides, you forgot that AVS is Logical Programming too.

American HS Education System (for those who don't know):

9th / Freshman (ages 14-15): Algebra or Geometry
10th / Sophomore (ages 15-16): Geometry or Algebra/Trig
11th / Junior (ages 16-17): Algebra/Trig or Precalculus
12th / Senior (ages 17-18): Precalculus or Calculus

ehm...not really. that "system" here is really loose - you learn 'em in that order, but not at specifically that age. same with all other classes.
