Math education progression? (Please help me)

RE: Math education progression? (Please help me)

As for your math, I really don't think someone who hasn't done anything but high school stuff in 20 years will be able to pick up bachelors/masters level mathematics from someone tutoring them online. I would recommend buying an undergrad maths book and starting there, and watch youtube recordings of uni lectures.

No no, I don't want a tutor. I just want someone to tell me the progression in which they learned things. e.g. first algebra, then trig, then calculus, then . . . Basically, I guess I need to know what the grade 12 and first couple years of Uni math cover, so I can approach my studies with a sense of order rather than just going wherever the wind blows.

The problem is I'm trying to trace backward like this: "Okay, I'm writing a graphics shader effect for my DirectX game, but I don't understand the calculations. I see sin/cos in there, so probably trig but. . . " I'd rather start with a solid foundation.

Also-- thanks for the comment about the game. I had designs to make an editor so you can put in your most hated person-- mine was Paris Hilton but upgraded to the Pope. Big Grin
