analytic geometry in precalc

<p>Am I the only person who finds this pointles?? I mean this si the 3rd year I'm doing THE SAME THING!!!! except for the polar form and parametric equations, but seriously! I find it really simple and simply pointless! AHH SO BORING!!!! At least I will get an A for the chapter :).</p>

<p>You will learn it again at least twice: in mv calc and linear algebra</p>

<p>I know....I learned all this stuff in Algebra 2. </p>

<p>Precalc is very repetitive; thus why it is so boring.</p>

<p>At least most of it is...the Law of Sines, etc. isn't review. The types of functions and matrices are sort of review, but you go into more depth.</p>

<p>I actually did law of sines before precalc. But I guess the point of the class is really to establish a strong foundation in math before moving on to calc, which covers completely different topics...swim--It's good that you have an A :).</p>

<p>Ya, pre-calc seems to be the exact same thing in Alg II (including laws of sines, etc.). We're finally on limits and derivatives though (something semi-new)!</p>

<p>"I actually did law of sines before precalc"</p>

<p>We kind of did, too, but now we're going in-depth.</p>

<p>I'm not really a fan of what we're doing now. All of the questions seem so repetitive. I've solved for the height of a plane at least ten times now. Ehhhh.</p>

<p>Hey, when do I learned any analytic geometry, um... that would be BC calc. I love my school district cirriculums.</p>

<p>think I can skip the whole precalc thing by self studying/reviewing a bit and go straight to calc, that would certainly be awesome</p>

<p>I wonder if I should self-study precalc this summer. I have a feeling even if I do my school wouldn't let me skip it. Do you think I would be wasting my time?</p>
