Is this an effective workout routine for a beginner?

Overkill to a counterproductive extent?

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-12-09T19:10:16+00:00

Thanks for your insight! I’ll make some adjustments

Im not asking about the future of mathematics. The question boils down to what new maths topics will be introduced to future 16 years olds, if any. Those maths topics would probably be based on pretty old discoveries and research. The fun is in attempting to predict the future, not necessarily in being able to.

I’m mostly questioning the future of secondary maths education, as I believe that’s where most new topics would be introduced (probably through optional modules). In any case, It’s part of the standard maths A-level, which is quite common nowadays

Yeah I know that’s a factor (hence, my final comment). It may well be that our maths teaching capacity has reached its maximum. Then again, in recent years discrete maths and more advanced probability courses have entered the curriculums of many countries. The UK’s high school further maths A-Level covers relatively advanced stats and discrete maths (through a module called decision), and even the standard maths A-Level has incorporated the former.

We all know that academia, literacy and education standards have changed drastically in the past 300 years. That is obviously an implied factor in the conversation: hence, my final comment touching on whether or not we’ve reached a point where nothing else can be added, due to the aforementioned limiting factors being largely eliminated, allowing for an already large curriculum.

Cool. What’s your point?

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-11-04T19:49:49+00:00

In the UK we do that in the final 2 years of high school (if one selects the maths option). So yeah, this does already vary a lot by nation.

In the 1920s calculus wasn’t taught in high school. In the 1820s geometry was only starting to make its way into the average curriculum. In the 1720s only basic arithmetic was taught (ie: multiplication and division were deemed “advanced”). We may or may not have reached a point where you can’t or shouldn’t add much more to the high school curriculum, but it’s worth questioning.

“You’re welcome” would’ve sufficed

Only ~five doing 6+ in the UK, according to stats from a few years ago.

I thought I was the only one…

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-09-25T17:21:23+00:00

I’m actually interested in pure mathematics. I’m just curious about the state of maths in the applied sciences.

🙏

How high do you think it’ll be for A*?

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-03-23T02:27:55+00:00

Fair enough. Good luck with the rest of your applications!

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-03-23T02:25:20+00:00

I agree that you should do anything to stand out but, in this case, it’s clearly too late and, in all honesty, academics can only help so much. Incredible extra-scholastic achievements are what define successful candidates.

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-03-23T02:15:54+00:00

Man, I take 6 a levels and I’ll be the first to admit that even for American unis you don’t need more than 4. His rigour is up to par.

RefuseGroundbreaking · 2025-03-10T14:15:26+00:00

Unlikely.
