Actually it occurred to me that it would be great to hear what math training you recommend for kids who are gifted in math and thinking about what they might do with it when they grow up--is it just the regular courses that kids need and they will do fine (e.g., algebra, geometry, calculus in high school and then a math or economics major in college??) or are there other areas (for example, coding/programming) that are very helpful in economics or other math careers? I am not mathy myself and my DH is a statistician, so I would like to learn more about what our very mathy DD might be able to do with it and what she might need. Perhaps there is another book or a professional society that provides some guidance in this area?
