Should I take Precalc before taking Calc I?

I personally think the OP should give the calculus class a shot and see how it goes. If community college tuition is not a major concern, he’s got little to lose and a lot to gain.

Who are we to tell him what he is or is not capable of?



from b@r!um’s posts and current occupation, I infer that b@r!um was always a very good math student.

No, not really. I didn’t actually like math at all until I hit calculus. (I skipped pre-calc because of a scheduling conflict and against the explicit advice of my math teachers. Not because I was an accelerated over-achiever.)
