Then, I'll use resources such as Khan Academy, MIT Open Course Ware, PatricJMT and definitely MSE while studying Calc. Therefore, I've decided that I will try to review Pre-Calculus (Algebra, Geometry, Trig.) in more or less a month's time frame before tackling Calculus. I didn't expect such a quick response! Thank you all for answering my question.
I know that similar questions have been asked consistently but I don't believe that this specific question has been, feel free to tell me otherwise though. My question is, being that some or many of you have gone through this, what would be the best approach to be prepared for and eventually master Calculus? I don't want to continue making the same mistakes and seeing as I have relatively long Summer, I would like to take the time to fix them.Īlso, I do apologize if this is too general of a question, or is not specific enough. so that I can be prepared for Calculus or (2) I can pickup a Calculus textbook (I don't really like the one we used last semester by Stewart) and actively study from that and ask questions when I can't figure something out. (1) My initial approach, I would pick up textbooks on Algebra, Geometry and Trig.
Therefore, after reading many of the questions on MSE, I've noticed two different approaches.
I've never felt a proficiency in Algebra, Geometry and Trig, and my professors have always said that a successful Calculus student needs to master those subjects before trying to take on Calculus. Not less than a week ago, I finished a second semester of the class and felt entirely defeated finishing the final. Here's my situation: I'm a computer science student who has taken Calculus I twice.
