At first I just thought there was just algebra and college algebra, but trying to figure out what math I still need, I found all sorts of college maths, and I was curious, what do I expect beyond bigger numbers?

Multiplicative inverse of parental income, I think.SteamKing said:Just out of curiosity, what's the biggest number they let you play with before you get to college math?
Tyrion101 said:Gee, I love being made fun of just like the next guy, at least SOME. People tried to answer my question. Thanks to those that did. I guess my main confusion was, I've already done algebra, why do I need it a second time if it's nothing new?
And once you understand linear algebra (vector spaces, matrix operations, eigenvalues, ... just see if you know about those concepts) and calculus, you get to the non-linear part and other stuff. Differential geometry with manifolds and so on.arildno said:Well, what is called LINEAR algebra is something you've never had at school.
Sure. "You" refers to Tyrion101. I edited my post to make it clearer.arildno said:I hope your post instead was meant as a followup to my post.
The main difference between regular math and college math is the level of complexity. College math typically covers more advanced topics and requires a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
Yes, college math is generally considered more difficult because it covers more complex topics and requires a higher level of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Having a strong foundation in basic math concepts is important for success in college math. However, with dedication and hard work, it is possible to succeed in college math even if you do not have a strong background in math.
Yes, college math covers a wide range of topics such as calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics, which are not typically covered in regular math courses.
To prepare for college math, it is important to have a strong foundation in basic math concepts and to practice regularly. Additionally, reviewing any relevant materials or textbooks before starting college math can also be helpful.
