Summer Calculus

Student Lounge College Life

<p>Over the summer, I'm going to be taking Calculus and Psych 101, along with working 20-28 hours a week and running a book club. Suffice to say, it's going to be a busy summer!</p>

<p>I haven't taken a math class since HS, but I've "acquired" an Algebra II, pre-calculus, and trigonometry textbook to prepare. I've begun perusing the algebra and it's absurdly easy, but I'll try not to succumb to confidence because summer Calculus moves TWICE as fast. I have until June to prepare.</p>

<p>I'm terrified! Absolutely mortified!!! :P </p>

<p>Are those subjects a good place to start? Where on God's green earth do I begin??</p>

<p>I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you, but I’m interested, since I’m taking Calculus over the summer as well.</p>

<p>I don’t know the level of your university. Is it semester or quarter based? We covered up to elementary integration in my first course. </p>

<p>However, if it’s anything like I had, it was computational and didn’t require any proof writing. If you’re great at Algebra, you’ll be great at Calculus. The trigonometry used is not very complex.</p>

<p>Honestly, just watch some Khan Academy videos to prepare. </p>
