Hello, in winter of 2027, I plan to take Calculus 1, but due to personal reasons, I will only be able to take exams that are scheduled 3:45 PM or later. Does anyone know of calculus professors who schedule their exams after 3:45 PM?
Thank you all so much!
I took a math course that covered everything in this book (https://bim.easyaccessmaterials.com/index.php?level=13.00) + a few extra topics such as composite functions, average rate of change over an interval, literal equations, and piecewise functions (like floor and ceiling).
Since I did well both semesters, my school is allowing me to choose between AP Precalculus and AP Calculus AB for my math course next year. With everything that I've learned, will I be able to do well in Calc AB, or do I still need Precalc topics like polar functions, parametric functions, matrices, etc.?
Not a single red enemy in sight 💔
As the title says, would it be possible to learn early AP Calculus AB/Calculus 1 material with only Algebra 2 and no Precalc? Eg. limits, derivatives, and area under a curve?
Rising junior here,
I know that this usually isn’t a good idea but hear me out. For reference, the Precalc teacher at my school is notoriously bad. He apparently barely does any actual teaching and assigns extremely hard questions for tests. I don’t know a single person in the class who has above a B. To add on, last semester’s average final score was about 55%.
But onto the actual course, the first half of Precalc is just IM3 review, isn’t it? So, after finishing IM3, could I just start on unit 3 of Precalc?
More info, already registered for dual enrollment philosophy for starting the third week of summer break, so would it be wise to try and learn both Precalc and Philosophy at the same time?
Also, next summer, I’m planning to take Calculus 1/AP Calc AB in order to take Calc BC in senior year, but taking IM3 + Precalc this summer would free it up.
Anyway, please tell me if this is a good idea.
