[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you suspect your kid is going to have to take calculus in college, strongly recommend they take it first in high school. College classes tend to be very large lectures and move fast. It really helps to have some foundation with the subject.[/quote] +1 I was a strong math student who missed the track to Calc in high school, due to changing districts. My parents and I didn't know enough to push for it. I took calc in college 25 years ago and even then about half the class had taken calc in high school. For classes graded on a curve (is that still the case?), it was a huge disadvantage. [/quote] I took calc (the easiest calc) in college and it was also on a curve. I basically absorbed 10% of the course. Then again, most colleges have a math placement test at the beginning of the year and they use the placement test to help students figure out which math it makes sense to take. [/quote]
