should i take senior math or pre- calculus?

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.

Yes if you can master all the math up to and including calculus. \n\nI could give you a "nice" answer but the truth is better in the long run. If you can do very well in math and science in high school, you have a chance to get an engineering degree but if math and science are a mystery then the chances of getting an engineering degree or any technical degree are very slim.

You won't understand why you need to learn most of this "math crap" until you get to college algebra--or more like calculus.\n\nIn the mean time, it may not seem like you'll ever use this "crap", and maybe you never will, but at least it's helping you learn how to think logically.

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

Depends on how smart you are and how much math you have had before.  My suggestion is to take as much math as you can as early as you can.  Learning math really helps you to think better.  If you go to college, it will be a big help to take some AP math before you get out of H.S.

if you're an engineering student, you should already be taking it.\n\nIt isn't easy.  Your own abilities in math will determine whether it is easy or hard.  I found the ACT was a good predictor of the relative ease of my college courses.\n\nThere are three levels of calculus you will need.  General calculus teaches you the fundamental principles of the subject and the proofs for each principle.  You will also learn several "definitions" of common calculus operations.  Multivariate calculus teaches you how to manipulate several variables at once.  Differential equations teaches you how to solve complex equations for each variable, and translate common physical situations into math.\n\nYou will need to be proficient in all of this to really perform well in engineering.

You'll be fine. They are three totally different classes. Calc III is usually considered easier than Calc II. Linear Algebra is pretty easy. Stat isn't bad either. Good luck.

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.

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.

Well first off, certain subjects will never be thought or analyzed ever in your futur career. Take math for instance. Basic math is important, but is learned in elementary school.Calculus is for what? I took it and it has never helped me with anything at all.It's only there to pick out some people from the others. Let's say you want to get in medical school and it's a requirement. There's another student who wants in and has exactly the same notes as you, but has a higher note in math. He'll get in first. It doesn't mean he would be a better doctor than you.Maybe he just simply understood it easier, even while spending less time on it than you.But as I stated before, you could still be 1000 times better than him at your job.Hope I somehow helped you,\n-Sarah-

Hi there, I just wanted to comment on the Stats and Calc thing: I have a few friends who are taking both and they seem to be doing fine.  they all have A's in both.  I am taking 4 AP's this year and one independant study AP class as a senior and i'm not having too hard of a time.  here are my classes just in case you want to know:\n\nAP Environmental Science\nAP English Literature and Composition\nAP Art History\nAP Microeconomics\nAP Human Geography (Independant Study)\n\nI have previously taken:\nAP European History\nAP US History\nAP Psychology\nAP US Government and Politics\n\nI think you should be fine, and feel free to ask if you have any questions on the classes I took.  Adios!

just take the course, business math and whatever foundation of math  it requires is easy stuff, stats and algebra (how can you be a businness person anyways if you cant do simple aritmatic and math). I hate math and i had to take 2 years of calculus for my major, that was a biatch. Anything that aint calc is easy.

this one is better  MATH IC-MATH IIC-PHYSISC, but actually both of them are great!  get a good grade and you would be set to go....'

You may also give webmath a look.  Math is geared to grade level and need.

If you like math, it's great. If you've taken calculus in high school, and found it easy and fun, then you'll probably like college math, though there are many different kinds of math you can major in.

Depends what field you're wanting to enter. Besides, integral calculus isn't all that bad, and it's very useful for tons of practical issues in design.

You don't need the math, trust me! Take all the science and physics classes you can take! If you've got all the way to pre-calculus then you are pretty ready. You will need to take Calculus in college though, because it is a pre-requisite. So don't think you are done with math because you aren't. But you can definitely give it up for now, and then just take calculus when you get to college. Email me if you have any questions!
