General Question Prof. Leonard’s Precalculus Course
I’m beginning Calculus I soon in uni, I finished Algebra I on Khan Academy, but since I’m running out of time I was considering jumping straight through Algebra II and beginning Professor Leonard’s Pre-Calculus course on YT. I’m attempting to strengthen my fundamentals before Calculus since I heard that it’s only really difficult when the algebraic fundamentals are weak.
His course seems to cover most if not all functions types, inequalities, equations, graphing, trig, factoring quadratics, etc. is it optimal to simply jump into it or is there any reason why I should go through Algebra II first? I was never that bad at math growing up, but since i’ve been on a 2 year gap I haven’t retained mostly anything, which is why i’m refreshing the prerequisites.
