college issues.

<p>i'm debating between math 110 (Mathematics for Liberal Arts Students) or math 115 [college algebra]. i really suck at math and i really don't want to take a class that i'll fail.. in regards to my major (bus admin), i only need to take math 135A which is business calculus, but i have to take pre-reqs for that math class before i can take it blah blah you already know. the last math class i took in high school was precalculus but let me tell you that i know nothing and the teacher just let us eat and talk the whole time. i barely remember algebra 2 and geometry was a JOKE lol. if anyone has taken math 110/115, please let me know how it was</p>

<p>another thing is where can i get books for cheap? my school basically offers books for new in the newest edition (which the professors want -__-) or used ones but it's still a bit pricey. so i was wondering what's the cheapest site for books?</p>

<p>You are at Fullerton, right?</p>

<p>You should take Math 115. It’s the easier of the two pre-calculus classes (115 and 125) and a passing grade would allow you to move on to 135.</p>

<p>Math 110 is interesting material and very different from any math you’ve probably seen in high school, but it will not prepare you for calculus <em>or</em> pre-calculus. It would however give you a good foundation for philosophy, computer science and math competitions! :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, however, I already switched to Math 110. I think if I swapped to Math 115 again I might get ****ty hours… lol. I thought it would be super simple algebra but I guess not. Meh, I still have time to change it :P</p>

<p>I usually buy my books off of Amazon (used) and then resell them for nearly the same price at the end of the semester.</p>

<p>If you’d like to take high school algebra again, look at Math 035, 040 and 045. Math 110 is something completely different (logic and discrete math).</p>
