<p>If Obama knew how to find sine or tangent, perhaps he wouldn’t be so set on dictating scientific progress by decree. But that’s neither here nor there, since most politicians of any persuasion think they can outlaw friction, since if it’s a law, it can be changed!</p>
<p>Although the normal path would be trig, I can see that you have no good foundation to be in that course given your grades in algebra and geometry. Without those, you’re just doomed in trig. The only plausible path you have right now is stats, which you have a chance to do well in, but your algebra foundation is weak, so it’s going to be a struggle, but doable.</p>
<p>Take stats and let the chips fall where they may. Then, try and do some remedial work in algebra and geometry before attempting trig again. Quite frankly, the system failed you by letting you out of algebra with such a weak score - it just set you up for more failure.</p>
