What will be studied in a college level course titled "Fundamentals of Modern Math"?
363975
Algebra, concepts of proof, logic, set theory (baby version), number theory, maybe some other stuff.

My fiancee is in college for computer science. It is exactly what you're looking for. He has computer projects due every week. But he has to take a lot of hard math classes. He is currently taking a calculus class which is necessary for him to do his class projects properly. If your interested in computer science, or anything to do with computers just make sure you do well in advanced math classes.

Statistics would be a good math course for you to take. It's called "Stats" by students taking the course. The course has histograms and charts and graphs you could use to show your data visually. It also had permutations and factorials good for crunching numbers in the books better. It also has normal bell curve probability.

Try Google groups. Particularly sci.math. \n\nIf you can afford it you can try Kasamba.

It usually goes prealgebra, algebra, geometry, algebra 2, precalculus (sometimes broken down by college algebra then trigonometry), then calculus 1.  Now, though, the new thing seems to be a thing called integrated mathematics, which simply goes integrated math 1, integrated math 2, and integrated math 3.  This new math combines all math classes and presents a harder and more in depth view of each as the classes advance.  I hope this helps.

It'd help if we knew what level of course you'll be taking.\n\nI enjoyed Walter Rudin's "Real and Complex Analysis".\n\nAdvanced math books are staggeringly expensive; I just looked at Amazon and they want $150 for Rudin's book.  Dover publishing has the least expensive books, and they tend to be the classics in the field, too.  Or maybe you should just buy whatever book you'll be using in the autumn, since you'll have to get it anyway.

It depends on the school and how advanced the student is in their aptitude and experience. Advanced algebra, geometry and trigonometry are all fairly common. Occasionally you see some calculus for some students.

All universities that offer courses in Computer Science or I. T. will insist you to take Math as a core subject. The Math involved is not really hard, just different as it will concentrate on teaching you calculation procedures you will need to manage and control programs, networks, mainframes, etc. A large number of people are turned off by Pure Mathematics because it is so abstract (but it has to be to qualify as "pure"). The math you will learn on a Computer science or I.T. course are practical, almost like learning how to program or how to solve a problem. You should regard it as a set of procedures you will need.

No one book can do that! You probably will have to buy several books for that; at least four. But you have to start somewhere so here it goes. Start with Everyday Math for Everyday Life by Mark Ryan. I recommend also that you visit the site of The Teaching Company and Barnes and Noble University and alsothe publishers Addsion-Wesley have some good books on the subject. B&N offers free courses periodically about Math and everything else in its web site. The Teaching Company sells a whole college Algebra course and one on Calculus quite cheap. You can find them also, used,even cheaper in Amazon.com. It so happens that now in my senior years I have become very much interested in Math and I began last year to buy all those books. Happy learning!

Anything you want. A math degree is a great general purpose degree that demonstrates that you know how to think.\n\nBest of luck and God bless.

The distinction between theoretical math (also known as pure math) and applied math is usually made at the college level.  Applied math is math that is done with specific real world applications in mind - such as physics, engineering, or statistics.\n\nTheoretical, or pure, math is abstract; math for math's sake.  It's the broad set of rules that govern how numbers behave.  Algebra, geometry, and calculus are all considered theoretical math, even though they can be very useful and applicable in the real world.

Mandelbrot Set\nWe just went over it in algebra 2/trig but it is easy enough to learn at an 8th grade level

In the US, Trig is normally considered as a high school level course, however, it is not a required course to graduate. I believe Algebra is the highest of the high school math courses that are required for graduation, although some schools may still only require Geometry.\nIn the US the typical sequence for math courses is Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry and then Calculus (which is usually taken at the high school level as Pre-Calculus, but may also be taken as full "AP" Calculus, where the "AP" stands for "Advanced Placement" and means that the student can get University-level credit for that course when they go to College).

I majored in math in college.  All my professors said the hard part about math is the English.  If you cant read it properly then you cant do the problems.  Another part is people dont want to learn the postulates and theoroms needed to solve the problems.
