re: #396 Aceofwhat?

it’s so true. i came back far ahead of my peers, sadly, in many subjects.

One of my electronics professors grew up in Martinique. He came to the US for college, and got to skip on the undergraduate calculus sequence that was required because he’d already been taught everything up to differential equations in high school. He wound up opting to re-take Calculus III so that he could get a feel for being taught math in English before going on to new material.

That just blew my mind. I got to Algebra II in High School. And I went to a private school that has a really good reputation.
