What percentage of 4-year college freshmen are ready for calculus?

Since she is seriously considering economics as a degree, I didn’t think taking a math class that precluded her from ever taking any more math was wise. That not only would have limited her with economics but also with psychology, which she is thinking will be her minor. So she is taking trig now and calculus either in the summer or in the fall.

Wow, they really do split Pre-calculus into 2 semesters. </p>

<p>Taking Calculus lite wouldn’t preclude her from taking other math courses, but she would only get credit for either Calc lite or Calculus I. Colleges never preclude anyone from continuing in a subject.</p>
