<p>b1gmuff, for diff. equations and beyond does it reach just as far back as pre-calc? I'd hate to have to go all the way back and review over stuff like algebra and geometry :S</p>
<p>You'll need some geometry for calc (volume and surface area type stuff for word problems)</p>
<p>Its not like you are going to have to remember every little thing from the course, but keep in mind that every you learn is taught for a reason... generally at this level it is to prepare for calculus. You will be expected to be able to solve/factor equations, work with complicated fractions, know trig identities, etc... perfectly.</p>
<p>So i guess i should retake Precal during the summer to get ready for Calculus 1 in the fall? I want to be extra prepare and I'm planning to take higher math later on.</p>
<p>I took precalc and all the calc and some of the higher math. There is no way in a hell a normal person doesnt have to review and actually REMEMBERS the stuff in precalc after 3 years of calc.</p>
<p>Hmm but do they expect you right off the bat in the course of the lesson to already remember the precalc stuff and before? Or do they normally review over it first and leave you to self-review and study after?</p>
<p>where? in CC or in UC</p>
<p>CC first but I'd also like to know about UC</p>
<p>If they expect you to know, it's nothing you won't be able to review yourself</p>
<p>I am in a similar position. I took calculus my junior year in high school. Then I took Statitistics this past year. I have completely forgotten everything. I did get C's in the first place, although they were both sort of high. I mean I theoretically could review it myself, but why not just get an A in Calculus (although I am sure it would be hard) while reviewing to boost my gpa all the while making sure I don't miss anything in my review to establish a good base for advanced levels of Calc. Someone tell me this is the right decision.</p>
<p>It is.

<p>It definitely sounds like the most logical thing to do.</p>
