I'm a 17-year-old senior in high school right now. I'm currently taking pre-calculus and plan on studying calculus in college so that I can eventually teach it.
Does anyone know if either pre-calculus or AP calculus are taught in Danish high schools (gymnasium)? If either subject is taught in high school, I'd like to teach there.
My other option is to teach calculus on the college level, which I don't mind, but I would have to further my education in order to become a professor.
This also might be a stupid question or sound like I'm disconnected, but are any school courses besides English taught in English? I'm learning Danish, but I know I'd have to learn a lot of technical language, especially considering that it's math.
Tak! :)

ku8k4leDo you know of any language schools I could attend? I need to mostly focus on vocabulary as compared to grammar at this point.
Also, I do intend on my classes being mostly math-focused. Are any other courses (e.g. English, Danish, history) a requirement to graduate from a Danish university as they are here in the U.S.?

ku8khcsYou will have to do that research yourself. Make sure to look for ones that offer the option to take the Prøve i Dansk exams.
No, Danish university degrees specifically do not contain out-of-major classes (although they can be taken as electives in certain programmes), which is why you need to be extremely careful.

ku8l4nzThanks for telling me about the exams!
Is it specifically related math courses I should be taking, then?

ku8q2reIn Denmark, a student applying for a masters program in maths will have taken three years of pure math classes already. To add to this, they will already have taken what amounts to calculus 1 and 2 in high school.
So make sure that you spend at least 3 out of 4 of your years in a US college only doing math classes, if you want the best possible chance of getting in.
You should be taking classes in proof techniques, real analysis, complex analysis, proof-based geometry, pure algebra (ring theory and the like), probability theory, measurement theory, topology, etc.
This will likely go beyond what is typically requirement for a math major in a US BA programme.

ku8re6zThank you for the recommendation!
