As others have pointed out, it varies widely by school and district. I went to public high school in the US, and we did Calculus and Multivariate Calculus in 11th and 12th grade. (And this is not uncommon, given that it maps to the two Advanced Placement math tests widely taken by US high school students.)
- dubya 13y agoIt's being standardized now across most states. It looks like quadratic equations are in high school. http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/HSA/APR http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/HSA/APR
- tomkarlo 13y agoThe linked doc is specifically minimum grade-level standards. It explicitly states that it doesn't cover how schools should address students that exceed those minimum standards, which would include anyone taking more advanced math courses. "The Standards set grade-specific standards but do not define the intervention methods or materials necessary to support students who are well below or well above grade-level expectations." I.e., this defines what constitutes "grade-level" skill sets, but lots of better schools will exceed those standards by one or more years - their 10th graders may be operating at the 12th-grade standard, etc.
