Pre-calculus in two weeks?

Pre-calc is high school shit dude

If you dedicate some time you can learn it quick

I know i understand everything immediately but why do they say it takes so long to learn it

I'd say it doesn't take long to learn, just takes a while to master and set in.

Sure, you can learn everything in pre-calc in an afternoon, why not?

Just don't come to my calculus tutoring sessions when you forgot trig identity #543 and can't get that partial fractions problem right.

learn about the basic shit in pre-calculus in a day just so you know what it is.

...then just start calculus 1 and review as you need to. that's the best way and i will stand by this statement. Fags get too hung up on making sure they have a "solid base" but it's just an excuse to not move ahead. Daily reminder, mathematicians aren't masters of mathematics that can calculate shit in their head. they explored the current math landscape, found something they thought was cool, and jumped through the hoops to reach the ability to be an expert in it, and forgot everything before it. guys getting their math PhD don't remember stupid little things from their calculus 1 class or pre-calculus. that's a waste of time.

TL;DR stop wasting your fucking time

I had a botched high school education, and have been teaching myself math in the spare time.

Pre-calculus wasn't hard to understand (I never reached a concept that really challenged my mathematical ability), but it contained an obscene amount of information. The pre-cal textbook I used had over a thousand pages of information in it. You can't memorize a thousand pages of mathematical information in two weeks. (I mean, you could try, probably to limited success). It took me about 5 months of on-and-off study to get through the book with all of its exercises.

Comparing this to textbooks dedicated to other subjects (predicate calculus, set theory, linear algebra, etc), they've all generally had less than 300 pages of content each. The only other textbook I read that was as thick as that pre-calculus textbook was a calculus textbook that went over all the major areas of basic calculus.

If you study for 3-4 hours a day then you'll do fine. These are good textbooks for college prep on this website, https://openstax.org/subjects/math

Brainlet here. What is requirements for analytic geometry? Should I look deeper into basic geometry?
