Brick Wall of Mathematics

I could put this in Education. I could put it in Science. Wherever I put it will be wrong. Feel free to move it. Just so I can get an answer.



Last night I read what I really already knew. If you want to be a scientist, you are going to immediately bump up against the brick wall of mathematics.



Very true. I got curious as to what mathematics is taught in university after a good foundation in high school. What I found with Google was not enlightening. I'm hoping someone here can clarify.



High School: algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, pre-calculus (algebra 3, geometry and trigonometry), calculus (taught in either grade 12 of first year university)



University: Here is where it got vague:



further mathematics

pure mathematics

mechanics

complex numbers



Is it possible to explain those university courses - if courses they are - more simply? Thank you.
