and what is senior math and pre-calculus. Im not very good at math but i want it to look good on my college app.

If you're trying to get into a selective college, or if you plan to major in something math-related, take the pre-calculus. If you're not planning to major in math or a science and you're applying to an average college, just do whatever you have to do to graduate from high school.

Ask your school's academic advisor. Judging by the class title this could just be basic math, but every school puts something different in basic math. So I cannot tell you anything.

The question is not really if calculus is hard, but is the first calculus class you are going to take in college hard. \n\nWell, first off it depends on what college you go to and what the math department is going to expect of you. In a liberal arts college the standard would be lower than if you go to a tech college (i.e. MIT or CalTech). Since most of the people you are competing with here are going to be going into a field that involves heavy use of math, they are going  to expect you to know the topic better than if you went to a place where everyone is taking the course because it is part of pre-med and the majority of the class will want to forget the material right after they take the course.\n\nIn general your first calculus course is going to not be too rigorous. It is going to mostly be algebra and not the analytic study that you would do if you continued.\n\nSo, for instance you will learn that the derivative (slope) of a polynomial x^2+x+2 = 2x+1. You do this by taking the expotent, multiplying it times the x and then writing a new expotent as (n-1).  Remembering that x^0 = 1 and that the derivative of a constant is 0 then taking the derivative of this function is easy. \n\nThat being said you should know pre-calculus and trigonmetry fairly well.

EE and ME is for math. You have to have a strong interest in math!

presuming you have to do English, Math and Science, can you also do AdMaths? \nor separate science?\nit depends what your school offers. \nbut D and T, ICT, engineering (if offered) would be good choices.

what college has the better science /math department!?\nalways look at the strenth of a colleges individual math and science departments. This can help you determine if the college is able to provide you with what you need academically.

I studied Calculus when I was a senior in high school.  Calculus is hard, but you learn along the way.

Those books will help, but study your Pre-Calculus/Calculus books. They'll help too.

The feynam lectures, the big red books and not the shortened version sold as a popular science text, is actually quiet hard. There is a book for advanced math called Visual Calculus, but this should only be attempted in the senior year of math. As far as introductory calculus book i like the stewart text, but make sure you solve all the problems to truly get a picture of what is going on.

pbs has courses on all the time. teaches math reading all of it. Good luck and its nice to see you wanting to better yourself

Sounds like you are well on your way.  I'm glad to hear you are wanting to take you math classes early to open up room for more advanced math classes later.  You can take Geometry early like you are saying and receive credit for it.  Good luck to you.

As for math, I'd recommend mathworld.  I don't know about other specifically.  It is not the most readable, but it's a good enough resource for graduate students.

It's really not for me to decide because i'm naturally good in math but i think you should continue becasue for example in my school, they require you at least take pre cal. but, ultimately it's your decision and yours alone. so good luck with whatever you pick. if you're choosing to go on, you can get a tutor if you're really bad.

Very understandable....I just posted a question about my pre-calculus homework and i didnt ask for the answer, i just need help finding how to get it....i'd like to know how to do it myself, i dont just want someone to tell me the answer....does me no good @ all!

When I was in high school, I was terrible at math.  I could never focus or concentrate, because I just didn't enjoy it...\n\nNow, I'm in college, and I learned how to study.  I'm taking Calculus II next semester, and I did very well in Pre-Calculus and Calculus I.  The most important thing is to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!  Do problems that your teacher didn't even assign, just to make sure you can do them!  ESPECIALLY in sections where you didn't do so well.  Reread sections that you didn't understand, memorize the formulas you'll need to know, and listen to the hints that your professors give about what will be emphasized on the exam.  These things aren't easy, and they take time... but you will do well.

Highschool--- anything math related.\n\nCollege- anything math related, statistics, Experimental Psychology, and a couple of others.
