The world's best results in mathematics

[Michael]

Quite similar to the British GCSE maths syllabus then. I started learning calculus as part of the O Levl/GCSE maths syllabus at 14 years in the 9th grade.

The UK? ... Never mind, we're not talking about the same thing.

I also studied calculus in high school in Canada. They also offer advanced math class to some students here. So, sounds like China is trying to adopt American style happy learning at schools.

in senior years of 11 and 12, we had 5 levels of mathematics to choose from. The top two levels of mathematics is required if you want to become an engineer. I did the top level maths to keep my options open which was mainly advanced trigonometry, differentiations, advanced statistics, matrices etc. In the end I work in Healthcare and never used any of that ever again. Should have just chose an easier math level to boost my score higher.

Vietnam is likely to out perform Malaysia and Thailand in the long run. The dominant culture in those two countries is not Confucian but some laid back ones and ethnic Chinese there are distant minorities, though with some significant numbers.

The most important factor here in Vietnam is the Confucius culture and education method, not ethnic, as ethnic Hoa in Vietnam performs relatively bad, at school even compared to South Vietnamese.. There are a lot of ethnic Hoa descendants in Mekong delta, probably only slightly behind ethnic Khmer, but they have lost the culture. Other than their surnames, which sound Chinese, like Lâm (Lin)¡ Diệp (Yip), which are almost non existant in the North, they look, act and behave like any native South East Asian.

Why it is not China?

Yeah, if they totally lost their Chinese cultures, they are effectively not Chinese, but only biologically in some sense and that ought to change over a long period of time.

The difficulty level of the educational curriculum for students in China has been significantly reduced.

I clearly remember starting to study calculus at the age of 15, followed by discrete mathematics two years later. My son, however, did not begin studying calculus until he reached the undergraduate level at university.

It’s a trend. Some countries follow similar things in education. Here in Germany I studied discrete math in university, not in school and college.

Why it is not China?

And why there is 4 China, in the list ?

Sounds somewhat similar to Canada. We also have grades of 11 and 12 in high schools. But, there are only two types of math classes, the enriched one for some talented students and the normal one for regular students. But in grade 12, they also offer calculus as a separate class. I took both the enriched one and calculus.
