Are math analysis and pre-calculus the same course?
826602
in my school- the first quarter of pre calc is the same as the second quarter of analysis.

If you want to have a career cleaning toilets, you probably won't ever use advanced math or calculus. If you want to be a prison guard, you probably will not ever use advanced math or calculus. If you want to be a professional tap dancer or a comic, you probably won't ever use advanced math or calculus. If you want to drive a taxi, you probably will never use advanced math or calculus.\n \nHowever, if you want to be an architect, or a chemist, or a statistician, or an engineer or a molecular biologist, or a hedge fund manager, or an economist, or a weather forecaster or an oceanographer or design airplanes or work with electronics or any one of thousands of interesting professions, you will probably need advanced math or calculus. \n\nHere are some problems:\n\n1. Design a technique for producing better computer speech synthesizers for interacting with users, or reading written material to blind people. \n\n2. Use an MRI machine to make pictures of the inside of the human body. ALL of the data is analyzed extensively using fairly advanced mathematics to make the picture. \n\n3. Finding oil is all done with a large number of equations. \n\n4. Designing airplanes is all advanced math and material well past elementary calculus\n\n5. Power systems are all designed with sophisticated mathematics. \n\n\nI could give thousands and thousands of examples. When you use the internet, it is all mathematics. Your computer software is all mathematics. The weather forecast is all mathematics. The odds at the race track and casino games are all mathematics. \n\nAnd not just simple mathematics. Calculus is just the beginning. After all, Calculus was developed 300+ years ago. You could easily imagine that we might have made some advances in over 300 years, couldn't you?

It's grammatical.  'Calculus' in the sense we know it derives from 'Calaculus' (which means the method of calculation), which in turn is derived from the original sense of 'calculus'.\n\nThus we say 'The Calculus', as we would 'the method of calculation' (here referring to calculating tangents, areas, limits, or what have you).  \n\nOf course, The Calculus now tends to refer to the rough number crunching, technique, and general monkey work of the subject, whereas Analysis (or Analysis of the Infinite, if you're feeling pompous) is used to signify the deeper maths of it all.

Absolutely. Wikipedia has a whole open source, online, calculus book,  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Calculus.  Here you can find many examples of different calculus problems and their solutions.  Alternatively, the software program Maple is capable of solving many math problems including calculus problems.  Stick with Wikipedia's calculus book though if you want to learn calculus online.

Go for the TI 84.  The 89 is MUCH harder to learn to use.  The 84 is specifically designed to help learn precalc, trig, and calculus.  And it's cheaper.  And since the 89 will actually DO the calculus, most calc teachers won't let you use it on tests, but they will let you use the 84.

I can help, I've taken College Algebra, Calc. I, Calc. II and I've also taken many other math courses, and I'm also studying to be a computer programmer, so if you need help you can contact me at assassin7262002@yahoo.com

There is an entrance exam for the SHP which covers earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, a broad range of pre-calc math topics. It is the single most important part of the entire application.

There are a couple different ones, but these are the ones I have found to be the best. The links I have provided you with will take you directly to the Pre-Algebra section.\n\n1) Math.com\n   http://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/PreAlgebra.html\n\n2) Hotmath.com\n   http://hotmath.com/home2/homeFrame.html?content=/hotmath_textbook/static/genericprealg/\n\n3) Gomath.com\n   http://www.gomath.com/algebra.html#prealgebra

Calculus has been mostly subsumed by topology, differential geometry and cohomology at the (pure) research level. The language of these topics is much more concise and powerful than that of classical analysis. If you're looking for recent advancements in analysis (the formal name for calculus), these are the fields you should be familiar with. Basically, these fields examine every type of object that one could do analysis on, in a way similar to what one does with basic calculus (continuity, limits, curvature, etc.).\nSee http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/math for new research in these areas, as well as classical areas.

In the US, Trig is normally considered as a high school level course, however, it is not a required course to graduate. I believe Algebra is the highest of the high school math courses that are required for graduation, although some schools may still only require Geometry.\nIn the US the typical sequence for math courses is Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry and then Calculus (which is usually taken at the high school level as Pre-Calculus, but may also be taken as full "AP" Calculus, where the "AP" stands for "Advanced Placement" and means that the student can get University-level credit for that course when they go to College).

I am also preparing for the AP Calculus Exam in 2006 and I can tell you that the points that I saw emphasized most in taking practice former AP tests were solids of rotation (disc, washer, and shell), the fundamental thereom of Calculus (what integral means), U-substitution, derivative rules, Riemann sums, speed, linearization (finding the slope of the tangent line),  volume of known cross sections, concavity and inflection points, the area between two curves, differentiability and continuity, local and global extrema (critical points and end points), implicit differentiation equations, trignometric derivatives, the rule of exponential growth (like volume increasing at a rate proportional to the radius), average value of a function, optimization, and related rates.  I know that is a lot but I have taken 5 complete practice AP tests (former tests) in class since February and all of these concepts were reccuring.

I am a math major so I have taken every math class. Start with Elementary Statristics...it is not that bad mostly pie and bar graphs for the first half of the semester.
