i'm doing horrible in precalc. i'm not exactly sure why.
it might have been since my orchestra lessons during that period last week, or who knows what. but we're doing stuff with like, fractional exponents and stuff, and it's confusing the hell out of me. not to mention, my teacher goes mach 20 through the class. like, 9 pages of notes per day. i know i should expect it. but can someone help me with the whole fractional exponents thing at all?

No matter what they say, there's a big difference between high school and college precal. Or so I've gathered my friends; I exempted college precal. I don't know why I'm asking because I suck at math anyway.

Can you believe that I never took Pre-Calculus ever, yet I've taken Calculus I, II, and III, and I have a BA in Computer Science? That's crazy.

^ It's not too unbelievable. Pre-calc is just an intro-course to Calc, so it's not like something you absolutely need.
I took as much Calc as was required for premed and now I never have to take it again! |
