US people is it true ???!!!! 😮😮😮

So the girl is a french girl living in a host family in US

And she's talking about a discussion she had with the brother of her host family who's a math teacher in the US

and the girl is schocked because they were talking about what you learn in maths in us and french high school

And the teacher said that in the US high school you focus a lot on algebra

And the girls said that she had to learn antiderivative, tangent, complex number etc... In high school

And the teacher was very surprise because he told her that this is the things that you usually learn in university and not in the basic program of high school

IS IT TRUE ???????

Quote from bartkun

tangent etc. you mean those angles in maths?

I think we learnt that shit in middle-school lol

no tangent of angles you learn it in elementary school

I'm talking about how to determine an equation tangent and tangent of a curve etc...

Quote from bartkun

pretty sure all those f(x) things = ax whatever + b(x) or y

Yeah i think you're confusing it with the basic function we're learning in middle school

Where you learn f(x) = ax2 + bx+ c etc....

Quote from Ciri

I think we got some basic in last year of middle school and than more complex during high school

Yeah like we all do

BUt i was surprise that what we learn here in 2nd or last year of high school

Are things that are usually teach in university in the US

And when i did some research about where us people learn about complex numbers etc... I always end up on website about university with "college algebra : complex number"

Quote from kirishiki

But does people in France know where Sweden is?

Of course, thank god we know considering the huge amount of maps we have to learn

We used to complete 5-6 world maps with name of country etc... To show economical exchange, migratory flux between countries etc... With arrow during the year of high school

And during our final test we end up on one random maps that we learn during the year and we had to complete it again by memory

I can even replace on a maps lituanie, estonie, lettonie
