ok...

so since i have very little knowledge outside of what I've learned in school i must ask...

what happens after i take these math courses? what's the "next step"

ok, so 'im about to be a senior in high school... I'm just finishing up calc 3 right now, and during the first semester of high school I'm taking linear algebra + diff eq's


so what comes after that? what classes are after that that i need to take?

i wannah major in math and chemistry/physics in college... so what math courses would best fit me?

and of course... how "easy" or "hard" are the classes?

please help... thanks ahead of time

i would say stick with ordinary & partial differential equations and applied math like modelling. i think now is the time for complex variables also. if you're going to do chem it wouldn't hurt to do some algebra, particularily group theory.
