Math Help

Allison S asked:


I took a 200 level calculus class 2 1/2 years ago but I’m transferring colleges and this one requires two semesters of calculus for my major instead of one like my old school. I don’t want to take calculus over completely but I feel like I barely remember anything, and definitely not enough to jump into the next level of calculus. Is there something free and online that I can do to brush up on Calculus I topics?

I think somehow math will be very important in the medical field and I’m only a high school junior. I’m just in academic pre-cal and I think I wanna take AP calculus (preferably BC) but how can I if I’m weak at math and stuff. How do I prepare myself to get better and faster with my math skills?

Carpe Diem (Seize The Day) asked:


How is the topic of physics and calculus related, and how do these topics depend on each other. For example, acceleration is taught in calculus even though it is a pure physics problem. What are some other instances in which these topics depend on each other? what topics? How exactly are they related?

I’ve noticed over several years, that even excellent math students find calculus and physics difficult, why do many find these topics difficult? Is it the mathematics or concepts that are hard to understand?

I thank all in advance. Thanks.

** * asked:


I took calculus in highschool, but completely forgot all math since I haven’t dealt with it for years. Is it absolutely necessary to retake/refesh my memory with trigonometry/algebra for a refresh of Calculus class?

In other words, how much of trigonometry is used in Calculus? I can’t remember.

Im in an algebra 1 honors class in 8th grade.This class is a honor class in high school.I have mid-terms coming up, and im having some trouble.Im not understanding what would be chapter 5 in my book which is: functions,linear functions,slope,y-intercept,standard form.MY MAIN problem is the slope and y-intercept form.Ive stayed after school and i still dont really understand it.ANY ideas how i should go about studying for the exams?ALSO some advice on how to find the slope and y-intercept.
EX: maybe make a problem and write out how to do it?
Thanks for any help!

I was in Algebra honors for a semester in 7th grade, but I dropped out. Then I took the honors test and passed the requirements for the grades and score. Also for my CST I received a 600 for math and a 93 percentile in Cat-6. How come I didn’t get in honors?

KatGuy asked:


If I work on a master’s degree in applied statistics, I need to probably take 2 undergraduate calculus classes too. Why do you need to take calculus classes for an applied statistics program - do you really need to use calculus in the program? What’s the relationship of calculus to applied statistics?

stellar asked:


I am in college taking Calculus II and learning about Taylor series, convergence tests, remainder estimates, etc. etc. I am looking for an online site that can help me out, preferably with practice problems and solutions too. Comprehensiveness is a must, please don’t give me sites that are very simple and only list the theorems and that’s it. Thanks in advance.

Rock Paper Scissors asked:


I am a college student taking Pre-Calculus and want to brush up (try and perfect) my algebra skills. I also want to have something that is more interactive to study pre-cal and calculus with.

I am a Pre-Engineering student, freshman.

I don’t mind repeated activities, especially if I am able to try out multiple stuff and see where I was wrong.

Basically anything that offers practice, especially if it includes interactive instruction to complement my college classes.

Thanks in advance.

Leksi (: asked:


I’m really struggling in Algebra. I’ve never been good at math period.
I’ve tried asking for help, but I still don’t understand anything about the class.
When the teacher tries to explain it to me I don’t understand a word she says.
I really need to pass this class. Any advice?
