Before College all math courses in the US 'build up' to Calculus 1 & 2 [1,2] presumably to prepare motivated students for engineering. Calculus 2 is the highest you can go in a public High School before a student will start thinking about starting their college career early or doing an independent study. This one track path is not without its side effects. As you can see by skimming this textbook the information on linear systems is lacking - something that might be more interesting to those who want to study CS.
