I'm home schooled, and since I've surpassed my mother's knowledge of math (and I've been teaching myself for 4 years), I'm curious to see how I compare to my peers -- if I'm behind or right on track.
The limit infinity (∞)
Maximum and minimum values
Velocity and rates of change
Functions and their graphs
Finding the components of a composite function
...etc. That sort of thing.
What year of high school, on average, do you think this kind of thing would be taught in? Of course I know that with AP classes and different levels, it will vary depending on the class, but I'm talking about in general.
Thanks so much!

Well, I'm antiquated, but in my years:
Limits: Junior
Max and min: Senior
Velocity: Senior
Functions: Junior

I don't really think these are the right levels of math, but in my school district here is what they teach.
The limit infinity (1st year calculus/ Grade 11 or 12)
Maxium and minium values (of what?
Algebric Graphs/Quadratics Grade 10
Limits Grade 11/12)
Velocity and rates of change Grade 11
Functions and their graphs Grade 9-12
Finding the components of a composite function Grade 11
On average these subjects would be taught in Grade 10 and 11, basiclly limit infinity and rates of change, maximum and minimum values would be taught in first term of 1st year calculus. The subjects would vary from district to district.

this is considered precal, which I am currently taking right now in my junior year, but really smart people take it in the sophomore year even O.O, but the limit infinity is presented in math b 3/3 or however you call that class before precal, algebra I think? Functions is also presented in math b 3/3, just not specifically, composite function is definitely a precal thing.

Hey hey hey. I learned about functions and their graphs in 7th grade Algebra 1. But I would say, for public schooled kids that would be junior or senior year of high school at best. Generally, on the west coast, public school kids don't start Alg. 1 till 9th or 10th grade. Good Luck learning more math!! :) I love math. It always works.

I'd say sophomore year in high school. I'm a sophomore in Honors Algebra 2 and we've learned all of the things you've listed.

Most of that is AP Calculus stuff (12th grade). Although functions and graphs would probably fall under 10th or 11th grade.

I'd say you're in the pre-calculus arena -- say 10th grade - 12th grade or so. Some folks take pre-calc in their first year of college as well.
Cheers.
