Do you guys think its possible to catch up with algebra, geometry,

>>8490567
They are all extremely easy, yes.

>>8490573

yo fuck off


OP, depends entirely on you, the effort you put in, & how practiced you are at learning. if you're used to problem solving & diligently attempting to wrap your brain around new concepts, well that'll help

It's definitely possible. Just read a section or two each day and end your day with multiple practice problems. The more problems you try (and sometimes fail at) the more you'll understand the concepts.

As >>8490583 said it will entirely depend on you and your resolve to study.

Although >>8490603 has some helpful advice for you

Please Lord, show me a sign that this is just a stupid troll.

Read Gelfand's Algebra, Gelfand's Trigonometry, and Lang's Basic Mathematics.

>now I plan to retake college in 2017, to major in mechatronics.
Applied mechatronics, or theoretical mechatronics?

>I have basic knowledge of precalc

Yes, absolutely. We get posts of "can i do this in x amount of time" regularly. And most of the time it is relatively out of reach, but yours is totally reasonable. Spending 2-3 hours a day, get a tutor, get some textbooks, youtube, google, etc... you should be way above capable of catching up in that time frame.

Plus Mechatronics wont require any advanced math at all, even if only a little. Likely less than 5-6 math courses including whatever you start at in school. You're looking at an Algebra course, 2-3 semesters of calc, PDE and Linear.

>>8490567
Yes.
Get a problem book.
Do the problems.
Remember, nurture the discipline.

I did it in 2 months myself, yes it's possible. I didn't enjoy it at all, worked on some problems and new concepts for hours until it clicked, then moved on to the next.

I recommend starting with something highbrow like pic related.

well you wont be very proficient. I used to spend every summer just working 30 problems a day on 1 chapter and had a tutor along with that before I mastered algebra 2, trig and whatnot. Honestly I would just foucs on algebra and getting that to a very high level. Having your foundation really strong has done wonders for me. everything above algebra you wont encounter too often but you could still just skim over the basics. And just start calculus in college

I would say if he's doing well, there's no reason not to learn calc 1. Precalculus is much harder than calc 1, although calc 1 requires good precalc skills of course

>>8492399
Will it suffice? Like all mathematics which is needed before going to a university?

Any pre calc book like Stewart's will be good?
