<p>Skipping precalculus is an option, but I think in order for you to prove to colleges that you’re good at math, you’ll need either really good recommendations from your math teacher that specifically talk about your mathematical abilities, or some involvement with math outside of the curriculum. This can include joining your school’s math club (or starting if one doesn’t already exist), and doing well on competitions, attending some sort of a math camp, doing some sort of research in math, or taking a high-level math class that’s also accessible, such as a problem-solving class at a local college, an honors calculus class where they prove all the theorems taught in calculus, or a class from [Art</a> of Problem Solving](<a href=“http://www.artofproblemsolving.com%5DArt”>http://www.artofproblemsolving.com). </p>
<p>But whether or not you reach multivariable or whatever math class or not by your senior year doesn’t really tell colleges as much as the things listed above, since there isn’t much needed to be ahead and still do well, besides being lucky in middle and being places in the right track. And so many people retake this class anyways once they get to college that it might not even be worth it.</p>
