[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the need to take Calculus in high school? I didn't take it until college, and I was a Mathematics major.[/quote] The US is the only industrialized country that teaches (single variable) calculus in college. Everywhere else it's considered a prerequisite for attending a university. Soon we'll teach precalculus in college - not a trend we should be proud of. Calculus (based on the level of intellectual capacity displayed if you pass it by the age of 18) is a good gatekeeper to decide who should pursue more education after HS.[/quote]
