<<< [Math] Track >>>

<p>So I'm making this to see if I'm right in the track (although I'm aware that no such "correct" track exists) for math, which is a subject I kinda like but not my main thing, not the best, but pretty good, depending on the topics and courses...</p>

<p>Freshman year: Algebra II / Trig (finished)
Soph: Precalculus
Junior: AP Calc BC
Senior: ...? Nothing? I hear how important 4 years of math is but my school has nothing beyond AP calc BC (for the record, I don't even know what's beyond this course so I really have no idea for senior year)</p>

<p>I'm also probably taking math IIC and I hear it corresponds to precalculus so I'll be taking that after I finish 10th grade.</p>

<p>What was / is your math track (high schoolers/graduated students/adults) ? For the record, is there anything beyond AP calc BC that I could perhaps take my senior year?</p>

<p>Your math track, or path is exactly the same as mine. </p>

<p>haha. </p>

<p>Your math courses are great btw. Precalculus is easy :)</p>

<p>why are you skipping calc ab? </p>

<p>you could dual-enroll and take a calc III class at a local community college or something.</p>

<p>looks good otherwise, btw. I'm on the same track but took Calc AB junior year and am taking Calc BC senior year.</p>

um, as far as I know calc Ab isn't really a full-year course and if you take Calc BC then it pretty much covers Calc AB plus a couple of things. There's really no point in taking calc AB, I hear from many others. at my school only if you get a C in precalc you go to calc AB.</p>

<p>yeah, but usually in Calc BC you're expected to know the A part of AB. Or else it'll be Calc ABC. Depends on how your teachers teach it, though.</p>

<p>We're on a similar track:
Frosh: Adv. Algebra II / Trig
Soph: Pre-Calc
Jr.: AP Calc BC
Sr.: Either no math, AP Stats, or Post (Multivariable) Calc. </p>

<p>Does your school offer AP Stats or MVC? If not, maybe you can dual enroll somewhere, or take two sciences to compensate for a lack of mathematics.</p>

<p>You sound like you're on a great track!</p>

<p>And NO, don't take Calculus AB before BC. At my school at least, Pre-Calculus students who have B/C grades go into AB because it is more slowly paced and those with A grades go into BC because it is so challenging. If you take BC after AB, then it will be very boring for you. I know schools that split the curriculum into 2 years, but I'm sure your guidance counselor would tell you if that is so at your school. </p>

<p>At my school, there is a Linear Algebra course offered for seniors who are on the same track as you. Take a look at the local community colleges and see if you can set anything up with your high school to keep taking math. At the very least take AP Statistics, but universities will really respect you for pursuing math further.</p>

<p>yeah in my school you usually do Multivariable Calculus or AP Stats...or Number Theory or some other college courses at the local college..</p>

<p>There is AP statistics but I'm probably not going to take it; doesn't interest me in any particular way (I would take it if my school didn't limit me into 6 courses).</p>

<p>***? Don't take AB before BC, that's wasting time. You'll get overlapping material. Just take multivariable at a college, or self-study Statistics.</p>

<p>you know, a better math track includes ECs in math, such as taking the AMC test and joining math team/club and winning some stuff :)</p>

<p>good idea cgar514!! I have the same track as you (OP)..my school only offers AB, and I'm rising senior, so there is no higher level math classes beyond AB.
So, what i did was to take two semester based math classes (Discrete Math and Statistics & Probability Advanced), even they're not really intensive or high level as their college courses counterpart.
So, I'm planning to start a math club in my school and go to competitions like AMC, and hopefully, I might be able to take a math course at a local college.
So, does this show my interest enough in math even I might not win some big math awards as some of other ppl on CC?</p>

<p>oh yeah there is also an option of doing independent research in discrete math..so if math really interests you, you could consider that?</p>

<p>7th grade- Honors Algebra
8th Grade- Honors geometry
9th Grade - Honors Alg 2/TRIG
10th Grade - Honors Precalculus
11th Grade - AP Calculus BC
12th Grade - AP Statistics / Linear Algebra / Multivariable Calculus (one of our school's teachers is qualified to teach at Cleveand state university so he teaches us taht)</p>

<p>To wildchartermange</p>

<p>What you should do, is try to get a competent teacher or a good textbook and learn the C material on your own.
The only dififcult C material is the tests for convergence/divergence of series and the rest is easy and im sure a APBC score would look better</p>

<p>Has anyone here taken discrete mathematics? That's what I'll be taking after I finish Calc BC...</p>

<p>If you haven't already, take AP Computer Science in your senior year!!
If you've already taken it, I would reccomend multivariable calc or AP stats.</p>
