[quote=Anonymous][quote]I took multivariable calculus and linear algebra at 16. [b]In the long run, did it give me an advantage over people who took the same courses at 18?[/b] No. What matters is having a strong foundation and developing the motivation and creativity to take what you learn and do something with it. I would never suggest stopping a child who is naturally interested in math from pursuing his or interest. But overloading a child with extra classes and homework so that he can be two grades ahead seems like a waste of childhood. [/quote] Do not attribute your motivations for taking these subjects at 16 or your long run to others. Some simply want to do it ( like climbing Mt. Everest, but does not make you better than the others). Some are in it or the thrill. We all do not share the same long run. We all do not share the same thrills. Leave the kid alone, if he is not the next lacrosse super star.[/quote]
