<p>Bump.
This thread is dying.</p>
<p>How about a freshman in precalc?</p>
<p>^That’ll work.
Do you know how many people at your school have a similar or more advanced track (including yourself.) If you know, out of how many students at your school? Just curious.</p>
<p>Hmm…well, it’s a public non-magnet, so probably very few other people. I took Alg 1 in 6th, II in 7th, and Geometry in 8th, while most other incoming freshmen are going into Geometry, then will do Alg II. We have about 3000 in the school, so maybe 2 or 3?</p>
<p>To those of you worried about Calc BC.</p>
<p>I took it as a 15 year old. I started my independent studying 2 days before the test date, and I still got a 5. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>I took calculus as a freshman - the only person in my grade. Only two other people from my school have done that. I’m going to take Real Analysis next year.</p>

Does your school offer math courses beyond AP Calc BC, or do you have to attend a local college? I’ll be able to take Calculus III in a early entrance program this coming year.</p>
<p>@York00</p>
<p>My school offers many math courses beyond AP Calculus BC 
- it even has a seminar on advanced mathematics for those who have finished Calculus III, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Real Analysis. The seminar usually covers fractals, topology, abstract algebra, and the like.</p>
<p>Bump, ehm…5+ pages (one year)
@poisonivy39 Your school is awesome! One more question: do you get college credit for the classes?</p>
<p>At my school, an early entrance program (11th to 12th) at Lamar University, it’s been many years since anyone has taken any course years beyond Cal II. Here’s what I’ve taken and will take:</p>
<p>11th (taken): Ordinary Differential Eqs., Calculus III, Linear Algebra
12th (will take): Analysis I (waived prereq,) Complex Variables, Intro into Advanced Math, maybe Analysis II</p>
<p>I take anywhere from 1 to 3 math classes a semester.</p>
<p>Here’s some questions for all:
Does your school offer math classes beyond Cal II? If so, which classes are they? If not, which would you like to take?
What is your favorite branch of mathematics? Mine is complex variables.</p>
<p>I’m so lucky to live in Florida. Free online courses are the best, man. After calc I hope to do dual enrollment and take Calc III/Dif Eq. in 10th grade, then in 11th and 12th grade take Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Number Theory, and Discrete Math (not sure what order). I wish I could take Analysis and Topology and the like but Daytona State College is a bit lacking in choices ( <a href=“404: Page Not Found”>http://www.daytonastate.edu/mathematics/syllabi/</a> )</p>
<p>Number theory is pretty cool, especially since it can pop up so unexpectedly, and seemingly unrelated topics can be used to prove useful statements. A pretty basic example is using group theory to prove Fermat’s little theorem or Wilson’s theorem.</p>
<p>Sophomore that got a 5 on the BC exam this year, I wanna join!</p>

Welcome! As with the others on this thread, I have to ask - what do you plan to take the rest of high school?</p>
<p>First semester next year I’m taking MVC at online college, next semester probably differential equations or maybe linear algebra. No idea what I’m gonna do senior year</p>
<p>Anyone here like \LaTeX ?</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve been playing around with LaTeX.</p>
<p>I will be taking MV Calc, Diff Eq, and Stat as a junior next year. As a senior, I plan to take Lin Alg, Discrete Math, and Complex Analysis.</p>
<p>LaTeX is quite useful. I use it to typeset papers and other documents (including resume).</p>
<p>Seems like my thread. Sounds funny, but I started learning some Calculus while in Algebra I. I already know some trigonometry from my own study, so that’s not a problem. I’m trying to finish all my math credits soon. I don’t want to skip to Calculus BC. I don’t even want to take a Calculus class. I might take the BC exam. I kind of learn as I go. Like, I learned logarithm properties when I covered logarithmic differentiation. That kind of thing. I like to think I had a gap in my math education from 3rd to 8th grade. I don’t remember learning anything. We did, but I can’t remember what I may have done in class. By 5th grade the work was too easy and I didn’t want to draw a picture for each problem/explain. So, failing math almost made me fail the grade. I came late to sixth grade, and I chose advanced math because the teacher was new, and my sister said it wasn’t hard. Biggest mistake. I remember my highest grade was a 78. It was way too hard for me. I was guaranteed to be in advanced math the next year because I was this year. Pre-Algebra went better. Then finally in Algebra, I had to spend time to learn the basics over. My teacher helped me. I left with being in the 99th percentile on the final state made exam. That class was hard. It had more than Algebra 1 in it. My teacher gave us 30-45 questions on a test. She didn’t give extra time, and class was 55 minutes. I chose to take Geometry this summer. After Precal, I’m going to take Discrete Math, Statistics, etc. I’d rather learn Calculus at my own pace. </p>
<p>@fineng not a bad idea…discrete mathematics has some interesting topics.</p>
<p>Btw, here’s a good article for all of you:
