[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs to do daily drills.  A lot of drills.  To many smart people, Calculus is not intuitive and straightforward like precalc.  Unless you are a natural, he needs to practice, practice, practice.

Get him a really good tutor to support him.  [/quote]

Precalculus is only "intuitive and straightforward" when the rigorous material is skipped and deferred to calculus class, where the course assumes it was already learned during precalc. [/quote]

You are an idiot!  Go away.  Enough with these toxic and stupid comments.  We don't need you here.  Axxhole.

OP:  Precalc is a basically a tool box of algebraic manipulation, trigonometry, functions, logarithms, and exponentials.  Calculus introduces new concepts goes beyond applying tool boxes.  It's more conceptual more abstract.  Mastery on precalculus is necessary but not sufficient for Calculus.  You are learning new skills and you need a lot of practices to fully develop these skills.
