<p>Can you take AP Stat instead? It’s still AP math and isn’t based in as much advanced algebra.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who felt the algebra was dumbed down from pre-calc to calculus? I mean, finding roots became a lot easier and less tricky, there was less manipulation of logs, no conics (which I missed) or matrices. Vectors seemed watered down too, and you worked, basically, only with position/velocity/acceleration and related rates. Parametric equations were simplified because you could work with components (no need to eliminate the parameter, which is often the hardest part). You rarely used advanced trig formulas.</p>
