I'll do an outline here - then follow each outline item to Khan Academy for steps and details
* numbers - natural numbers, integers +ve/-ve numbers addition subtraction
* numbers - rationals, reals, multiplication/division
* numbers - fraction and decimal representations - addition/subtraction/mult/division of fractions and decimals
* sets and functions - mappings, single valued and multivalued, domain and range
* powers and exponents
* algebra - functions and equations
linear equations, quadratic equations, simultaneous equations
* geometry and trig
^^ althat was pre-calculus and I may have condensed the steps a lot
* limits <-- this is basic stuff for calculus - all of calculus is about starting with finite expressions and then taking limits as something becomes infinite or infinitesimal.
* continuity of functions
* derivatives
mean value theorem
* integrals
integration and differentiation is often taught in that order but integration is much easier to understand intuitively since areas and volumes are more concrete and tangible velocity as a vector tangent to the direction of motion is less tangible to most.
After this point you take a sidestep and start the process again at a higher level with
* sequences and series (limits on steroids)
* linear algebra (simultaneous equations on steroids)
* multivar calc (calculus on steroids)
Then there's complex analysis, differential equations, partial differential equations and so on.
Note here I am taking the usual more 'applied' approach to math which is tangible.
The more 'pure' approach' - abstract and much harder for most is to go
logic and number systems
real analysis
algebra
complex analysis
measure theory / probability
functional analysis
...
which is what you'd do if you were on a pure math rather than an engineering math track.
Hope that helps.
- plainOldText 14y agoWow, thanks. You took the time to write all that. That is awesome.
