<p>So I am attending a new STEM magnet highschool starting next fall that is still in the process of figuring out forecasting and teachers. I am in the 8th grade and I am taking both algebra and geometry together in the same year. In algebra I am board out of my mind and I recently missed a week of school due to an illness and came back and still understood it better than the rest of my class. If I get one question on the test wrong I consider it bad. Geometry takes a bit more work yet I still get an A without braking a sweat. My question is should I ask if I can test out of Algebra 2 while doing summer studying (I have an Algebra 2 textbook) and go right into Pre-Calc. Also, what math classes would I be able to take in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade.</p>
<p>Definitely. I completely understand what it feels like to be bored in math class because you learn the material much faster than the rest of the class. I would recommend attempting to learn algebra ii trig over the summer. If you take precalc in 9th grade the next step would be ap calculus ab or bc. After that students generally take muktivariable calculus or differential equations either at a local college or if their high school offers it.</p>
<p>The normal math sequence is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Algebra I</li>
<li>Geometry</li>
<li>Algebra II</li>
<li>Trigonometry and Precalculus</li>
<li>Calculus (AP BC ~= year of college freshman calculus)</li>
<li>Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations (college sophomore level math; typically at a community college or dual enrollment if you are still in high school, in order to have transferable college credit)</li>
<li>Various college junior level courses mainly taken by math majors, such as Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra, etc…</li>
</ul>
<p>Completion of Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations is generally sufficient for the requirements of all non-math majors in college, although students majoring in physics, statistics, computer science, and economics may find some college junior level math courses useful in their majors, or recommended if they want to go to graduate school in those subjects.</p>
