Everywhere i go on this board, i hear that math education in freedomland is utter shit.
Maybe im just stupid, but i cant find a proper source for the detailed curriculum of colleges in the US.
Could someone give me a brief summary of content taught on the first few college years of a math student?

For comparison, first year computer science student from germany here, finishing my first 13 weeks of being a student on some pleb university. (18 years old)
Here is my first year so far, only concerning my math courses, proving everything from scratch:

We learned how to handle 80% of the operations needed in high school, like derivation, differentiation and basic calculus, so no need to learn the handicraft. Pure proofs...
>tl;dr is US math education system really that shit? Compare with german masterrace(link).

>body
It's called a field.

I was surprised to find out that American highschool math is more rigorous than UK hs equivalent math because europoors can never find enough time to explain how dumb america is

Not sure much about the euro uni courses but I know they would need some catching up to do

Here is how a B.Sc. in math usually goes in the US:

>1. Semester
College Algebra: Linear Equation in one variable, systems of two linear equations in two variables and quadratic equations.
General education requirements
>2. Semester
Trigonometry: Sine, Cosine and Tangent
General education requirements
>3. Semester
Precalculus: Learning how to plot functions
General education requirements
>4. Semester
Calculus 1: Calculating derivatives
General education requirements
>5. Semester
Calculus 2: Calculating integrals
General education requirements
>6. Semester
Calculus 3: Multivariable calculus
General education requirements
>7. Semester
Matrix Algebra: Solving linear systems with Gaussian elimination
General education requirements
>8. Semester
Differential Equations: Solving ordinary differential equations
General education requirements

Auf welche Uni gehst du?
Übrigens Informatik ist ein schlechter Studiengang und du betreibst mit der Angeberei mit den Mathevorlesungen nur Schwanzwedeln um deinen scheiß Studiengang zu kompensieren!

>>7786054
Thus guy doesn't realize you can take both math A level, pure math and physics into a pretty good level for that age group here. Few do though

>>7786020
So the well known German vomitorium style learning good God

>>7786067
this is not true, I am a molecular bio major and I finished calc 2 my second semester

>>7786067
This guy has no idea what he's talking about. No one majoring in math takes classes below calculus.

Warum ist Informatik ein schlechter Studiengang?
Ich strebe momentan an, Mathematik und Informatik parallel zu studieren. Da meine pleb Uni keine gesonderten Mathekurse für Informatiker besitzt, werden diese einfach zusammegelegt. Das führt dazu, dass ich als mein Nebenfach im 4ten+ Semester Mathe wählen kann und mit insgesamt 2 zusätzlichen Modulen ein komplettes Mathestudium in der Tasche habe.
Ich wollte wirklich nur vergleichen, Erfahrungen sammeln und eine Diskussion anregen.
Die Rhetorik sollte das Thema etwas attraktiver machen, wobei es anscheinend eher shitposter anzieht.

If you go to a big enough university in the US (big enough to have first-year courses specifically for math majors) that's about what you'd take

The only differences I can see are that in my experience, linear algebra doesn't usually bother with the groups/rings/fields set of topics. That happens in the algebra course.

Also you apparently are stupid because you can find the course calendar for a math degree at literally any university just by googling

Weil die Codemonkeywahrscheinlichkeit hoch ist.
> pleb Uni
Insbesondere, wenn man den Abschluss von einer miesen Uni hat, sind die Aussichten auf einen gescheiten Job schlecht. Alles was nicht TU9 ist kannst du in die Tonne treten.

TROLL

if your taking pre-cal in college there's a problem

>Warum ist Informatik ein schlechter Studiengang?
Weil das Niveau jedes Jahr noch weiter gesenkt wird. Informatik-Studiengänge sind überflutet mit unreifen und unintelligenten 4.0-Abiturienten, die einfach nur "irgendwas mit Computern" studieren wollen, weil sie Videospiele spielen und zu faul sind, eine Ausbildung anzufangen. Die Universitäten passen ihre Lehrinhalte diesen Leuten an. Alles was du in einem Informatikstudium lernst, kannst du dir - sofern du nicht geistig zurückgeblieben bist - in kürzerer Zeit selber aneignen und gleichzeitig noch etwas anderes vernünftigeres studieren. Es tut einfach weh, mit Leuten in einem Kurs zu sitzen, die im sechsten Semester noch immer nicht wissen, was ein Logarithmus ist.
