Yes
in the US there are community colleges you cant get a full bachelors, masters, or PhD at, but its not wrong to still call a university a college
whats the structure there?
I'm not sure what "advanced calculus" entails. I'm assuming it's analysis, which is what we break people in with before getting into more practical calculus techniques..
College/Sixth-form is 'school' from ages 16-18
well, it's just more math in the simplest terms haha
and i meant the progression from how its structured here, from calc 1, 2, 3, differential equations, and beyond
The point I'm making is that if you enjoy maths then you have a good chance of enjoying university maths, but it's harder to make the comparison than in most other STEM subjects.
Yeah no idea what the progression in US is
ah ok, we have kindergarten, then grades 1-12 typically
and 8-12 is high school, most in 12 are 18 or or will be 18
what do you mean about comparison to STEM subjects?
If you enjoy Physics at school there's a good chance you'll enjoy Physics at university, if you are university material.
If you enjoy Maths at school then you'll probably enjoy Physics or most STEM subjects but Maths is less likely. Maths has a really poor retention and satisfaction rate and that's because it's a *very* different game to school, where you're mostly just learning maths to help with the sciences.
i hate physics, had to take 5 semesters of it though
That's not really what I meant
what did you mean then
See the problem here is you have a very different outlook on this since you don't specialise like we do
wasn't familiar with your acronym for STEM, had to look it up, had me confused for a second
Yeah the divide is getting in the way a bit
i've spent years studying a very specialized curriculum
This is a little tiresome, sorry, what I was saying applies to UK people I don't know much about the US system
I've got stuff to do
cheers

Oops... wrong chat
lol
if anyone asks, I'm not fishing right now
Okay, I'll tell people you're going for a hike instead
>There aren't any definitions for GTKRWN yet.
good
sounds better
lol
*sigh* it was for an Iron March friend.
@SDifference - would you like a definition?
Submit it to Urban Dictionary
That sounds like a dangerous thing to do. I'm going to do it.
I have some really....interesting things on urbndictionary hahaha
I joined TRS today, it's confusing. I'm just gonna lurk.
