Math for programmers
Here's the math I learned in school, as far as I can remember:
Grade School: Numbers, Counting, Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra ("story problems")
High School: Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus (conics and limits)
College: Differential and Integral Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Discrete Math
How'd they come up with that particular list for high school, anyway? It's more or less the same courses in most U.S. high schools. I think it's very similar in other countries, too, except that their students have finished the list by the time they're nine years old. (Americans really kick butt at monster-truck competitions, though, so it's not a total loss.)
