While in high school, one will need to focus on math classes to prepare for a college degree in Mathematics. Advanced Placement (AP) math classes in high school will count as course credits in college. Here is a list of high school math classes to take:
- Algebra 1 and Algebra 2
- Geometry
- Statistics
- Trigonometry
- Pre-Calculus and Calculus
These high school math classes will enable you to focus and refine your analytical skills; complex problem solving; investigative and innovative critical thinking; attention to detail and observation skills; etc. Other skills that will need to be built upon center around team building, team work and communication. In any work culture, collaboration amongst team members, partner departments and clients occur on a daily basis. A college course in public speaking, communications and English will help with one's communication and writing skills since analysis reports are generated and findings are presented to colleagues and other professionals who deal with Mathematics.
Best wishes for your education and future career in Mathematics!

Depending upon your GPA, SAT/ACT score, and other factors such as taking many AP courses, any well-known college/university could be your potential school to enroll in.
If you get the scholarship or have the financial means, CMU in PA, CalTech in CA, or Princeton Univ is a good option. If not, explore Stevens Institute in NJ, Rutgers Main Campus, or UC Berkley as an alternate option.
