<p>tbh it really sounds like you need nothing more than to simply take a precalc class. even a tutor would suffice, because trig and logs and the other stuff you stated is actually really easy, its only hard for you because of the simple fact you didn’t learn it. grab a friend, or even just a precalc book/web resource and study it so you know the stuff that tripped you up last time.</p>
<p>its definitely not worth getting discouraged over, you’re at cmu doing ee- wish i would be able to get into there, all ya need is to review precalc (with someone who won’t leave holes in it like your school did)</p>
<p>on a side note, how did you take AP calc and score highest out of your class on the exam without knowing logs and trig? i just took calc 1 over the summer and almost every problem had to do with one or the other… I just find it hard to believe that you didn’t encounter any of this stuff in AP</p>
