How much time roughly do you spend in math classes in school in the US?
I'm finding it a bit baffling reading these comments ('calculus vs statistics' etc.) from my UK perspective. We had I think roughly^ 3x1h maths lessons each week, and it didn't seem to be a problem to do both, as well as whatever else. Nor did we wait until secondary school to start stats (calculus sure, for the usual colloquial definition of it).
Or are we talking specifically about some arbitrarily advanced level of each that somehow everyone's on the same page on without describing?
