<p>Does Algebra 2 have anything to do with Pre Calc./Trig. cause i'm taking both classes together.
So do you really learn anything in Alg. 2 that you need for precalc/trig</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>Yes, I would like to know also. Is knowledge of Algebra II required for Pre-Calc., or does PC build up on other things?</p>
<p>come on please give me an answer</p>
<p>For me, Precalc/trig covered a lot of the same material as Algebra 2, but at a much higher level. But I guess it would have (probably) been possible to take Precalc without having Alg. 2, you just would have had to pay a LOT of attention to the brief reviews the teacher went over for graphing conics, etc. But it would definitely be better to have finished Algebra 2 first.</p>
<p>At my school, I don't think they would let you take Precalc without first having had Algebra 2, but the fact that they let you sign up for that might mean that it's do-able at your school.</p>
<p>Both are hons. classes</p>
<p>Precalculus is a review of Algebra, Algebra II and trigonometry with emphasis on functions and an introduction to exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions (if not previously covered).</p>
<p>It is possible to skip precalculus and go straight to calcuclus. Taking Algebra II and precalculus should not be a big problem, but precalculus will cover and, perhaps require, some Algebra II material before you get to it in you Algebra II course.</p>
<p>See the a description of typical pre-calculus topics at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precalculus%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precalculus</a></p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend skipping precalc. For me at least, it was just such an awesome culmination in my studies of sort of elementary math. I learned SO much and became so much more confident about math.</p>
<p>Are pre cal and advanced alg 2/trig related since at my school there is a bunch of people that go from alg 2/trig to calculus AB or BC. But there are only 14-15 people in the class overall out of 2200 high school students</p>
<p>PreCalc is basically a Algebra 2/Trig review and a Calc introduction. Don’t know why it was needed…</p>
<p>My school requires you to take algebra 2 before precalc/trig. In my experience, you need a strong algebra background to succeed in precalc. Algebra 2 also offers an introduction to concepts such as logs, basic trig, and understanding of graphs, all of which are major concepts for lessons in precalc. </p>
<p>I can not imagine taking precalc without algebra 2 before, but I’m not really a math person. If you are, precalc might be a struggle, but you could probably make it through.</p>
