I am a sophmore in H.S and i would like to graduate with Calculus under my belt but if I don't the colleges I like are going to slim down. I am looking to major in either communications or pharmacy, and spanish minor.

For pharmacy, take whatever is considered the harder math. You will have to take Calculus in the prePharmacy curriculum.

When I went to hs we did not have math analysis, so I don't know what that is. But if it is a pre-requisite to calculus, then you should take it. If you're taking algebra 2 and it's your junior year I don't know if you will be able to take calculus in high school. I believe the sequence goes: algebra 2, trig, then calculus. If you can at least take trigonometry by the time you graduate you should be in good shape though. College calculus is a lot better anyway. But if you insist on taking Calculus before you graduate you must talk to an advisor or math teacher or counselor and ask them what you can do. You may have to go to summer school.
FYI, go pharmacy! You don't need a degree to get into most pharmacy schools so you can be out of school and working by the time you're 24 and making good money, too. Spanish minor would be great to complement any major. Start looking into that as soon as possible. Good luck whatever you do!

The classes I took from seventh grade on are as follows: seventh: Pre-algebra/Algebra I 8th: airplane-good-coordinate Geometry 9th- Algebra II/Trigonometry 10th- Precalculus Errr, and that's it so a procedures. Take the direction you think of you may cope with ultimate. i might say maximum persons take the two Trig or Precalc after Algebra II.

Well if you are really good at math and feel that it is pretty easy for you then take both but if you're not that good at math then just take Algebra II because that class is pretty hard and then math analysis is pretty hard too. So it all depends on how busy you want your junior year to be.

You should take Calculus before you graduate. Almost every college will require you to take it so even if you don't get a good score on the AP exam, you will better understand it in college. Even if you don't get A's in your math classes, the colleges will see that you're challenging yourself.

knowing massive amounts of math is never a bad idea, besides if you don't do it now, you may have to later. go for it.

might as well do it now because you will end up doing it later when you have less time and less money
