Mathematical statistics was one of my favorite courses and I generally think people should take more math.
The sequence I’d go with is something like geometry-> algebra-> discrete math and basic probability-> calculus-> advanced topics.
There are simplified calculus sequences that teach and prove the concepts without grinding through so much trigonometry. That’s what I would do for general track students and leave the more thorough calc w/trig for students pursuing math/engineering/physics.
