<p>I just learned that because my school is on block scheduling and we do courses for a semester, I am not going to get to really learn about vectors in Pre-Calc. How will this affect me for Calculus and other classes afterward? And would anyone have ideas for learning this if it's critical..like self-teaching or something online or what?
Thank you!!</p>
<p>You will get vecotrs drilled into you for years. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Yeah, you will get vectors in Calculus III and again in Linear Algebra.</p>
<p>You’ll also get vectors in any sort of physics class you take.</p>
<p>Not in the introductory physics classes, those don’t go beyond +/-. But yeah, don’t worry about not learning vectors in pre-calc.</p>
<p>My intro physics classes did vectors. I don’t even know if E&M is possible without vectors.</p>
<p>“Introductory” as in “physics 101, for liberal arts majors.”</p>
<p>Yes, that’s exactly what the admitted fluid mechanicist took: physics for liberal arts majors. I also took business calc and thermo for theologians.</p>
<p>Hey, I had to take the Mickey Mouse physics class cuz I never took physics in high school and it was a requirement for the calc-based physics. I also have to take the Mickey Mouse chemistry class so I can take at least one section of calc-based chemistry.</p>
