This article is intended to provide a brief introduction to what college mathematics is all about.  It is aimed at high school students who have enjoyed mathematics in high school, and are starting to think about what to study in college.  This article is a work in progress -- please expand and leave suggestions at the talk page.  The theorems and ideas mentioned here aren't all things that you'll necessarily encounter in classes; indeed, most of them you probably won't.  Instead, they are presented to indicate the sorts of thinking and methods that go into mathematics, and the sorts of problems that mathematicians work on today.
