Can we be a little more specific in the suggested course ordering here?

For example, what is pre-calculus- trigonometry or something more/less?

I know of a program (albeit for gifted kids) that teaches higher math concepts right from the begining, such as set theory in kindergarten. I think that most kids should have this opportunuity, much less the adults so paralized by math anxiety they want to start from the abolute begining. Geometry and proofs are not semester long courses but concepts necessary for mastery at many levels.

Unfortunately I don't know enough to set up an ideal system for math from the ground up, or I'd do it myself.

There is so much needless confusion when switching from arithmitic to algebra to calculus and beyond. For example couldn't complex numbers introduced much earlier than traditionally, so as to prevent but this goes against everything else I've already learned symdrone?

Perhaps a detailed curriculum could be hashed out- that would be the ultimate resource!

I wrote this page quickly one night, when I was astonished by the apparent fact that the Wikiversity "school of mathematics" page did not exist. However, after I wrote it I found this page: [1] . That seems to be the real Wikiversity "school of mathematics" page. Now I think that this page I wrote should probably just be deleted. --Singularitarian 20:30, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this page could be re-named to something like Learning mathematics. --JWSchmidt 21:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Singularitarian the referenced School:Mathematics is in good order and well constructed. Please delete his reference. --seancmcd 09:30, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Redirect?[edit source]

I'm thinking set up a redirect from this page to School:Mathematics.
