The mathematical educational progression

I feel asking this but what is the progression i.e. pre-algegra to what then then..if someone could give me a quick list I'd be grateful.

 

Then algebra I, geometry, algebra II, precalculus and calculus.

 

Every school is going to lay it out just a little different. Mostly you can just look at the course numbers and get a sense of which comes after what. Here's an example from MIT:

Free Online Course Materials | Mathematics | MIT OpenCourseWare

So, go to any university website and look up the requirements for a BA in Math. They'll lay it out by course number and if you check the prerequisites for every course you'll quickly get a sense of the flow of the degree. You'll see that it's not too different from one school to the next.

 

algebra --> Pre-calculus Algebra --> Pre Calculus Trigonometry --> Calculus

All semester long courses. And they wonder why there are so few engineers. If you were not properly prepped in high school, it's a tall task to progress through that in college. That progression can take 1 and half years not even counting the actual classes in the major.

 

If you're looking for a degree in Mathematics, you should really have taken the three-semester Calculus progression before you even start. Then you'll need Linear Algebra (my school recommends taking this one early, as it is a pre-requisite for almost everything else) and Differential Equations. You'll probably have to take an Advanced Calculus course, too.

The rest depends on your school and your goals. At UIS everybody takes Mathematical Statistics I and Operations Research. Then you choose a track consisting of either Abstract Algebra and Geometry, or Mathematical Statistics II and Statistical Methods. Add a couple of upper-level Math electives and you are done!
