What Age You Learn Integral Calculus

lafrench34

i was just wondering because my parents started me out very early now im merely starting calculus

and im simply 13

lafrench34

i used to want to put in regular school classes

Information technology'south early, but not unreasonable. If you empathize the textile, and are interested in learning it, and then don't worry well-nigh it.

Hi aye

Hi when i was 13 years onetime i started Calculus, and when i was 15 i similar mastered it. I was one of the smartest kids in the state, of washington.
and then it is possiable for 13 and 15 year olds to acquire calculus if they mastered basic math.

dood i have like tottally masterred all of caclulus like when i was vii year former, i was smart kid in u.s.a., so ur parentz r lik eteachin u slowl.y

Mace

Ur and so lucky

i had to teach myself, similar most everything, my parents were high-school drop outs. i did master a number of inturments at six though.

I mastered Washington State!!111

Umm, seriously, why are you asking this question? Is it to inform everyone you are taking calculus at a "young" age, or are you thinking that this volition damage you in some way? Or what? You apparently know that it'southward not exactly "normal" to accept calculus when you're thirteen-15. Hell, it's not normal to take calculus in the first identify (if y'all call up near it).

The only thing that matters is if your teacher is good....

Oh, and Mace, if you're serious, That sucks that you had to teach yourself everything. By the mode, I master everything I do. Everything. EVERYTHING!1111

EDIT: And mattmns, I can't stop laughing :rofl:

i was just wondering because my parents started me out very early now im only starting calculus and im merely 13

I would suggest y'all get in impact with your local child welfare role immediately. Studies have shown that young children tin do irreparable damage to their tiny brains if they study calculus before they accept matured enough to handle it.

i was just wondering because my parents started me out very early at present im just starting calculus and im only 13

Well, it's definitely not normal, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad!

If y'all're feel like you lot're being pressured too much, or you're in over your head, then yous should do something about it like talk honestly to your parents or a guidance counselor.

I truly can't understand the point. What is the apply? It will exist of no real use to y'all yet. I would focus on getting algebra downwardly 100% before thinking most moving onto calculus. This is assuming that you don't know all of algebra yet. At 13 I was solving 2c=10. lol :) If you practice know algebra very well, then perhaps calculus is the ne)(t step for you... Just please don't start with multivariable calculus at xiv, geez! :) Good luck...

My }{ key is broken :( Cat spilled orange juice on the keyboard. lols

Checkfate

I would advise yous go in touch with your local kid welfare office immediately. Studies take shown that immature children tin can do irreparable damage to their tiny brains if they report calculus before they have matured enough to handle it.

lols, it causes encephalon tumours.

Poop-Loops

I'm 20 and Calculus is still hard for me and I'one thousand still learning information technology.

If that doesn't make yous experience better, nothing will.

dood i accept like tottally masterred all of caclulus like when i was 7 year one-time, i was smart child in united states, and so ur parentz r lik eteachin u slowl.y

and i came upwards with a truely wonderful proof of the Riemann Hypothesis when i was 4, but my encephalon was too tiny to hold it. and then i forgot it.

Chipset

I started learning calculus in xiv and am taking official schoolhouse class in the historic period of 15.
I don't know how normal it is, merely as far every bit I know, math/concrete schools in post-Soviet Union country usually start mandatory calculus in 8th grade.

I call back I'd worry more than almost beingness a kid and developing socially rather than learning advanced math.

That sucks that you lot had to teach yourself everything.

No it doesn't; self-study is fun.

And more than constructive too, I think. (certainly if you can get practiced guidance occasionally)

I truly can't empathize the indicate. What is the utilize? It will be of no real use to you notwithstanding.

Math is fun ; does there need to exist any other point?

I remember (at xi, I think) being very excited to find out at that place was a world beyond trigonometry! It was so cool to find out about the Taylor series for the sine function!

But from a practical perspective, there isn't much point in stalling one's education for half dozen years only because you lot don't "need" to learn something immediately. As you said, if he understands algebra, then learning calculus is a reasonable footstep.

I retrieve I'd worry more about existence a kid and developing socially rather than learning advanced math.

Why not do both? :grumpy:

Hurkyl

The only problem might exist other kids might not appreciate or understand for such kids. It is pitiful that there is so much emphasis on social acceptance in this country.

This sort of confuses me besides. So what if the other kids don't appreciate calculus? Surely he has other things in common with his peers -- maybe video games, cartoons, playground games, other classes...

Beeza

Why non do both? :grumpy:

Doing both is fine. However, I think that learning social skills will be actually important eventually. Personally, I wish I had done both considering I never even passed Algebra I in high schoolhouse. But, although I may have been an idiot, I'grand older and more than mature at present. I tin talk and communicate with professors and research scientists ameliorate than near other students.

I've been in i class and heard of others where there are high schoolhouse age kids taking differential equations, linear algebra/whatever, and these kids truly struggle to fit in and fifty-fifty communicate with others.

Dragonfall

Calculus can be learned at whatever historic period, really. The mode it'due south taught nowadays consists of a set of rules that a kid can play with after a few minutes' time, like unproblematic algebra. 'Understanding' comes subsequently, if necessary, in the class of assay.

Chipset

I tin can't see why calculus and loftier-level math is interrupting social skills of person, is that just a stereotype: geek/jock division? My calculus grade has the highest amount of talkable and socializing people than all others.

Hurkyl

I tin can't run into why calculus and high-level math is interrupting social skills of person, is that just a stereotype: geek/jock sectionalization? My calculus course has the highest amount of talkable and socializing people than all others.

I've heard rumors to this consequence -- I recall i girl in my linear algebra course that told me she had been in some other classes with smart high-schoolers, and they tended to be rather egotistical.

But I don't recall it's safe to assume those students would have been whatever less egotistical had they not been in those classes.

And from another angle -- given the amount of communication I've seen in my college classes, I would be unsurprised if virtually people never learned nearly the well-adapted kids in their class. (Though I suppose when they're as young as 13, information technology's a picayune more obvious)

bkvitha

i would just say COOOOL!!
haha

u don really need to be a genius to learn calculus at 16(which i am)...just u r one if ur xiii ......lol....im still not strong in that....but i have mastered algebra by fifteen.
;p

so its just fine, for me, for u to start mastering it now itself!

JasonRox

I remember I'd worry more about being a kid and developing socially rather than learning advanced math.

How tin can that affect your social development?

JasonRox

Exactly.

I'thou a lot more social now every bit a math major than I ever was earlier.

I talk to girls a lot more than comfortably that's for sure.

Chipset

I talk to girls a lot more comfortably that's for sure.

Correct, right, it's a lot more easier to talk to a daughter than to write professor in uni about mentorship with crazy ideas

Serbian.matematika

Chipset , we did kalkulus in grade vii in Leningrad:-)

eep

I think these kids are just concerned about becoming the next Einstein... want to acquire calculus at thirteen? Go ahead. In that location'south no "right" age to learn anything, as long equally you tin understand it. As for the whole social thing, just make sure yous have other stuff to talk about. I hardly had any friends from my "honors" classes considering everyone was and so tiresome! All they wanted to do was homework and college applications!

moose

No it doesn't; cocky-study is fun. And more constructive as well, I call up. (certainly if you can get good guidance occasionally)

Well of course self-study is fun. However, I don't know how good it would exist to teach yourself that corporeality of one subject.

I like cocky-study because it normally forces you to empathize everything far more than when information technology is taught to y'all, only at that place are limits to that...

mathwonk

obviously you lot are not doing this past choice. tell your parents to lay off.

i obliged my older son to read an algebra book when he was eleven or so, and next year he placed first in the state in a math contest. boy was i pleased. then he made it very clear he did not ike existence pushed to do this stuff and totally quit.

i tried to get him to go to my college alma mater besides, only he chose his own route, and is now an extremely happy married father and well employed creative internet world mathematician - engineer and businessman.

your parents are apparently misguided and trying to strength yous to fulfill their dreams, or to outshine some other kids.

on the other hand, yous are very vivid, so endeavor to challenge yourself in some field of your own option.

At present here is the other side of the story. when i was a kid my father bought me books on quantum theory, and tried to push me into college elarning simply i totally refused. I said, gee how come up he complains when i bring home an A- when i am still the acme kid in the class.

what i did not want to admit was that our school was very easy and he knew it. i had my way, and refused to do any of the outside reading or elarning he recommended.

then i got into harvard in my test scores, and uh oh, all the other kids had been to meliorate schools in the north, and learned far more than i had. just existence superlative in my little southern grade put me pretty about the bottom of my harvard class in preparation.

subsequently all i realized dad was right, that what he had urged for me was really non beyond my abilities, just beyond the level of claiming of my peers. i didnt desire to be dissimilar and take kids say they hated me because i was academically smarter than they were.

thats why i did what i did to my kid.

so information technology is a fragile trip the light fantastic toe. effort to get into a school where the level is college and you wont be ostracized for beingness smart. and do summer activities for smart kids like dukes tip program.

but do not allow your parents ruin for you the joy of learning. permit them know yous appreciate their help and aspirations for you, merely that it is crucial you find your own way, or it volition all be for zero.

get a advisor to help you explicate it to them if necessary.

you are going to exist alright. learning to stand to your parents, while all the same respecting their experience, is a useful lesson.

Let'due south not forget that calculus is essentially 'uncomplicated math' in most college curriculums. It's not like the kid's parents are trying to force-feed him algebraic topology.
