I am returning to school in the fall and will be taking Calc

So at what level are you at now, can you do trigonometry, do you know what a function is? Get a precal book and go over those things they'll be used everywhere in those courses. Those 4 courses are basically "drill courses" where you have to do a bunch of problems using a few techniques and the only thing that separates each problem is tricky substitution or trigonometry or using logarithms.

So if you can get to know : exponentials, logarithms, trigonometry functions, then you can ace those 4 courses. The techniques they teach you there are super easy, it's the trig and other stuff that makes people fail.

If you want an A in Calc I, definitely know everything through Calc III and get a head start on real analysis.

Not that anon, but what do you recommend to get a good refresh?

>>9047043
Learn about the algebra and geometry of real numbers, and the properties of special functions like trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, exponential functions, logarithms and hyperbolic functions.

That should be more than enough to start Calculus I.

I wonder where is that photo from. They look really retarded save for a few.

I took Calc 1 in Sophomore year of HS, I got a C but my teacher got fired because she failed half the class. Point is, learn the subject, don't worry about the grade.

get a schaum's book on precalculus, it has tons of exercises and answers and it's super cheap unlike those 150$ bricks with pictures of people surfing and tons of nonesense.

math grad here. got c's in all those classes kek

fuck them they dont matter, unless you actually like applied math then go be an engineer

Trig is what I'm worried about. Do you recommend any particular books or online courses?

>>9047104
I am going into engineering

Khan Academy from grade one to precalc. You can do it in a couple months if you keep at it.
