[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just ignore the trolls lying about "many other countries" they know nothing about. They are same ones who think their $300-$1M annual HHI is "middle class" [/quote]

Most of the world is done with geometry and single variable algebra before high school.  Just Asia is like 60% of the world.  [/quote] Then why do asian universities start with calculus, instead of assuming students learned it in high school? Surely 4+ years is enou to learn at least that?[/quote]

I didn't know about the rest of Asia but calculus level math is frequently taken in 11th grade in Korea.[/quote]

Korean students start calculus in 11th, but they end up covering about the same content as Calculus AB. AP Statistics and Physics C are above what’s taught in Korea, so a motivated student in US learns more advanced material than whatever Asian countries like Korea, Japan, China and India do. And that’s without insane cram schools open late at night and with students having meaningful extracurriculars they care about. Also Asian students are not “done” with “single variable Algebra” by high school, whatever you think that is.
