The Finnish high/secondary school (= years 10 to 12) gives a choice of two alternative math curricula, the more comprehensive option giving a reasonable foundation for university-level math and is usually very much recommended to anyone interested in STEM. It includes complex numbers (at least superficially) as well as a lot of other stuff that the narrow version doesn’t, like limits, integration, basic linear algebra, and analytic geometry.
