[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pretty typical four-year math track in an American high school would be Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and then Trigonometry (or a series of math classes that integrate all three topics into each class).  What the website means is that they are looking for applicants who have gone beyond this standard four-year progression.  It does not necessarily mean taking more than four math classes in high school - your child may have taken some of those classes in middle school, and/or may take accelerated versions that complete the progression in fewer than four years.  The key part is where they say "We would highly recommend taking math your senior year and advancing through pre-calculus or calculus, if available."  They want to see your child taking at least through pre-calc or calculus (depending on your school's offerings), and they want to see math at a high level through your senior year (no completing your graduation requirements early because you took math in middle school and then skipping it entirely after that).

If it's not clear what this means in the context of your specific high school's offerings, then you should the guidance counselor how they would interpret/apply it to the available course offerings.  [/quote]

Thanks! I'm the confused and ignorant poster :)
This all makes perfect sense.[/quote]
