[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the typical hs in the suburbs does not offer linear algebra.  [/quote][/quote]

Actually a lot of the suburban high schools do offer linear algebra now as a dual-enrollment class. [/quote]

A number of good high schools offer linear algebra at the school.  They have enough kids to take it.

My friends son is at Langley and it offers 3 courses past Calculus of which LA is one of them.[/quote]

Blair offers 3 past Calculus - LA, multivariable calculus and differential equation, and even complex analysis.

If you look at magnet schools in MD, all offer classes past Calculus.  Many standard high schools offer at least 1 class past calculus.[/quote]

Why do we care?  We live in DC, and the few kids who need access to those classes can get it.  And if a kid can take a full slate of solid classes, but can't take Differential Equations until they're at MIT, oh well?  It's not going to wreck their career as a math professor. It just means they will have learned some more history or public speaking or something else worthwhile before they take Diff Eq.[/quote]
