    Default Re: Calculus Homework

    Learning Calculus? In university? Good lord. We did that when I was 14/15...
    Now in Advanced Higher we are imagining numbers, and doing advanced Integral and Differential Calculus...

    In Physics, we do wave and electricity phenomena... and angular motion...

    In Chemistry, we do more on Organic Chemistry, Principles of Reaction (Stoichiometry, Equilibria reactions (acid/base buffers, indicators, et al), Electrochemistry) and Quantum Mechanics and Electron Structure.
    God Bless the Scottish education system, and all it's lovable SQA-defined-parameter nonsense...I just wish they didn't place such a big emphasis on carbon compounds...they smell (literally too heh, get the ester reference? Good times).

    On a less nostalgic note, this could make for an interesting discussion: which country has the most challenging education system? I have always been led to believe America's was pretty simple. I once watched a High School reality program where the seniors were learning about Moles, Gram Formula Mass and other chemistry fundamentals (which are taught here at age 14, standard Grade level.)

    Also no offense meant, I am not implying Americans are stupid
