<p>I was in Honors Algebra II this year when I decided to self-study AP Calculus AB… Now I am going to take Calc II and Multivar at my local university next year, but I won’t take Pre-Calc. I did just fine in Calc AB without it, but what should I look at that I may need in higher level math.</p>
<p>Did you learn polar coordinates, trigonometry (identities, double angle, inverses, etc), sequences and series, conics, and limits. </p>
<p>If you did. You’re fine.</p>
<p>okay I have all of that except polar coordinates and some of the trig, so i’ll look that over. thanks!</p>
<p>Go over the trig and basics like the unit circle, besides that is probably stuff you have seen before anyway.</p>
<p>Going straight from algebra II to calculus is quite a feat. Usually students take pre-calc as a way to refine their algebra skills before moving to calculus. But yeah, pre-calc is basically a repeat of algebra II with some trigonometry thrown in. </p>
<p>Also make sure you look at vectors and parametric equations. Polar coordinates won’t be important until you have to change coordinate systems to do integrals in calc 2 and 3.</p>
