Question

hi, i never took precalc or anything, only on intermediate level algebra
can i learn calculus and pass the class? i don't need a good grade.
like are there things i need to know in precalc before learning calculus?

Answer 1

It'd probably be real hard. I think you need pre-cal for calculus, but I'm not positive. Here's this, it's pretty helpful in determining that.

There's definetely pre-cal tuff you need. And trigonometry stuff, too. Take the test. If you do really well, you're prolly ready for calculus.

Answer 2

It would be extremely difficult to be successful at calculus with the back ground you described.
