<p>If I took MAC 1140 last semester; would I be able to take MAC1147 instead of MAC1114 and still have it count as a credit?</p>
<p>it’s really not worth it to do MAC1147 if you’ve already done 1140, because you’ll be repeating what you just learned, and you won’t learn everything that you would learn in the trigonometry class. I’d highly recommend just to take 1114.</p>
<p>I second that. I recommend all STEM majors to take 1140 and 1114 separate. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the same semester. 1114 alone is hard, but you see vectors among other things that would make your life easier in the future. I actually aced calc I with very little knowledge of precalc(took it 7 years ago). I learned as I went. Trig on the other hand you really can’t on a faced pace calc class. Also learn how to derive the values from the triangles. I don’t know it by heart, nor know the table, but 10 years from now I still can derive the answer. </p>
<p>Remember math isn’t history, don’t waste to much of your time memorizing formulas, but why they work. If you really need a formula, you will memorize it without realizing it by practicing. If you are premed and only need calc I, save your time and take 1147. <– not really for you since you passed precalc</p>
