I always had a lot of jealousy towards people who were able to do
well in calculus... higher math and biology were beyond me... sometimes
I think I should take a math course again... actually, there is so much
I learned(or didn't learn) in school that I've either completly
forgotten or would like to relearn...

dear elegy,
we only covered basic differentiation in high school. i finished with math
in my junior year, and my only option for senior year was to take calc at a
comm college, which i opted not to do.
i'm impressed that your high school had calculus. that is mainly a
phenomenon of the late 90's and early 2000's. of course perhaps Stuveysant
has advanced calc and difeqs.

the names for subjects in school are often wierd. for instance,
trigonometry isn't a real field of mathematics. it's just a study of
certain functions e.g. sine function. there are of course multiple
algebras, and multiple geometries. the basic calculus taught in college
often overlaps with analytic geometry and linear algebra. the arithmetic
from elementary school is elementary arithemetic. obviously you can study
it in detail e.g. Peano axioms. and higher arithmetic is now called number
theory in most college.
