It is not hard compared to college algebra. pre-calc just incorporates topics you have learned so far uo to college algebra and introduces a few more. if you did well in algebra, you should do well in pre-calc.
It's difficult to predict how "hard" a given person will find calculus, though being good in algebra is a positive sign. One potential problem: the way that the calculus classes are broken up in many colleges means that Calc II is usually (and notoriously) regarded as the most difficult calculus course (and the most difficult course in the mathematics department most science and engineering majors take). It tends to involve lots of trigonometry and memorization of integral formulae. In schools that use a "trimester" system, this material will probably be in Calc III instead, so your mileage may vary.
No, it is not.
You're going to have a hard time in calculus if you don't have at least a basic understanding of what a graph is. This doesn't mean you need to be a great draftsman, you just need to be able to look at a graph and have some idea of what's going on.When I was in college, the course everyone called "Calc I" was officially titled "Calculus with Analytical Geometry I", but analytical geometry has a lot more to do with algebra and trigonometry than it does with drawing, if that makes you feel any better.
Calculus will help but there is more to physics than just that.
Calculus in itself is not hard, it is usually remembering the algebra and previous math classes that is hard. New concepts are introduced in Calculus, but isn't it the same with any new subject? For example, many problems in integration, the actual calculus is not the hard part, it is using all of the algebra and other concepts you have used your whole life to simplify the problem so it is easy to solve.
That is not an easy question to answer. Many people find math hard in general and certainly some people find calculus hard to understand.Multivariable calculus is not really harder than single variable calculus. It is lots of fun since you learn about double and triple integrals, partial derivatives and lots more.I strongly suggest it for anyone who is thinking about taking it.
False. What makes calculus "hard" is the Algebra. If you have a good understanding of Algebra, you will not struggle in calculus, especially considering the fact that the fundamentals of the class- Calculus 1- aren't very difficult to grasp.
Pre-calculus is hard because it is very algebra intensive but forces you to also incorporate your geometry and trigonometry to solve complex problems. Not only this, but precalculus is designed to expose you to a few of the oddities in advanced mathmatics (holes, end behavior etc). Calculus is then even more difficult because it differs so greatly from pre-calculus. rather than definite answers and standard functions, you now move into "theoretical math," where many problems either have very complex answers or no answer at all, and very often, you are required to prove that your answers are logical using mathematical therums. however without your strong base from pre-calculus, trying to learn these new concepts would be almost completely impossible. My advice you anyone struggling in either calculus or pre-calculus would be to keep at it. study hard and practice as much as possible. Good luck!
you don't go from algebra to calculus and linear algebra. you go from algebra to geometry to advanced algebra with trig to pre calculus to calculus 1 to calculus 2 to calculus 3 to linear algebra. so since you got an A+ in algebra, I think you are good.
its VERY VERY VERY hard math its VERY VERY VERY hard math
Brushing and flossing can remove plaque which causes calculus to form. But once calculus does form, it is too hard and firmly attached to be removed with a toothbrush. dental visits are necessary so that calculus build up can be professionally removed with sharp instruments. Source: i am a dentist
