[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think FCPS lacks real knowledge here. Taking algebra in 6th grade puts a kid on track for Differential Equations in 12th. That level math class is lost on a kid who is also not learning computer or electrical engineering in conjunction.[/quote] Every math major studies differential equations both in dedicated d.eq. courses and other advanced math courses where they arise. They are applicable in a wide range of disciplines (including higher level math itself!) not just engineering. Your comment is already showing a lot of ignorance about what advanced math is for. The most abstract levels of pure math are decoupled from all practical application in the real world.[/quote] I disagree with you and agree with previous poster. Most top universities align the curriculum so that you are taking it alongside relevant CE or EE classes. Not sure about math majors but for engineering, previous poster is correct. [/quote]
