[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Precalc builds on the concepts in Alg 2, so simultaneous is NOT a good idea. What school grade currently? If 8th, then in 11th take Calc BC, succeed in the difficult class, and do MV Calc in Sr year. [/quote] This is largely not true Algebra 2 covers polynomials and functions of degree 3 and higher, and rectangular complex numbers. Precalculus covers trigonometry (advanced geometry and algebra of angles), vectors and matrices (linear algebra in 2+ dimensions), parametric functions, and polar coordinates including polar complex numbers. There is only a small amount of dependency, mainly in the complex numbers part. There is wide variation in how schools and districts and textbooks choose to order the topics in Algebra 2 and Precalculus. [/quote]
