<p>super easy. easiest part of math in hs. brought my grades up loads. that 7th grade SOH CAH TOA and like 2 other rules and thats all you use, basically</p>
<p>I had a PreCalculus class (it’s the honors math for juniors, others take “trig” alone or algII) that was part Trig, part Algebra III, part Calculus (some of which I had already had when I took AP Physics). I remember the trig being fairly easy, you just have to memorize a lot of formulae/identities/etc. And I disagree with silentsailor. Proofs will not always be easy. They are basically designed to trick you.</p>
<p>I thought Trig was part of Pre-Calculus. Well, in my school it is, and it’s a faster course as well.</p>
<p>Basically, you want to know what tan/cos and sins are and about unit-circle/radians. Everything else can be ruled out by yourself if are able to visualise triangle and remember some properties of functions.</p>
<p>trig sucks. its pointless</p>
<p>
Well, you wouldn’t be able to type this message without trig so… eh… hmmm :)</p>
<p>I thought it was easy.</p>
<p>do any of you think trig is absolutely necessary? i took alg 1 and 2 in middle school and am in hon. geometry right now. they only offer trig at my school as alg. 2/trig, so i was thinking of skipping it and going to pre-calc. your thoughts, please.</p>
