that seems a little crazy to go straight to calculus. i took geomtry as a freshman, but skipped algebra 2 and am now taking precaluculus as a sophomore. you shouldn’t have a problem at all with skipping algebra 2, the only difference between that and algebra 1 is logs. but i guess i’m a little biased because i love algebra and logs. but i dunno if you should skip precalculus, because you really need a solid foundation before taking calculus. precalculus is pretty easy, but has a lot to do with graphing…the most difficult part 1st semester was cos and sin graphing, but that was only because the teacher was so bad.
i think you should only skip one math at a time, ie, skip algebra 2 and take precalculus as a sophomore.
