I'd say the Australian 3 unit maths curriculum should be a minimum prerequisite for any engineering degree. 4 unit maths would be ideal, but you might be looking at a 4-5% participation / qualification rate at most schools.

The requirement for all STEM majors is a 'sound' performance in Math Methods. This is nowhere near enough to guarantee a quality candidate as uni math is significantly harder than HS math. It's actually a laughable requirement, which is why you have so many dropouts.
It's not just about doing higher level maths for a STEM major.
Having a high level of mathematical competancy would be beneficial for every single person as they go about their lives and have to make decisions about what to buy every day
Same here in germany
Not sure in what situations I would encounter in my life where I would need to use differential equations to solve the problem. But accounting mathematics for sure would be beneficial for day-to-day life for every individual.
Yeah I think the big difference between eastern and western education systems lies pre-university. Whereas in the east kids get thrown into the pressure cooker very early, in the west it's easy sailing up until you get hammered by university. Western systems simply don't prepare kids for university because everything leading up to it is too damn easy. Not saying eastern universities aren't difficult, they are, but by that point kids are already used to it.
Well as mentioned a few months ago, I'm writing a book with intention to publish by October. I think I'm still on track to publish it by October, and the book definitely involves China quite a lot. I'll let you know when it comes out
Not differentials.
Algebra to decide on two options, exponential growth (savings), statistical sampling for when you, probability, stats in general, along with a dose of physics on moving objects etc etc
Does it involve India quite a bit too?
Considering talking about India comes to me as naturally as a six pack of beer, yes.
