Running start is generally better than advanced placement but whatever you were up to in high school you should have gotten at least part of calculus out of the way before college.

You might have always just "got" many concepts in high school but that won't last forever. Eventually you're going to get to a stage where you're going to have to really practice and reflect on a concept a lot before you finally get it. You might even need to have someone else who gets it do their best to explain it to you a few times and go over examples and practice questions with you. There is nothing wrong with saying you don't understand something and looking for help.

Analytic geometry feels like witchcraft because of its counterintuitive way of handling curves and tangents, and all the sine and cosine shit feels like the result of messing too much around with degrees instead of just using rational fractions.

Maybe it's because I'm retarded or autistic, but I feel like proofs in mathematics, infinite series, and so-called mathematical "induction" are examples of deductive reasoning that can only demonstrate relations between particular propositions or arguments as shown in specific cases, as opposed to trully discovering what a "thing" trully is in-itself.
Anything which atttempts to describe a totality of beings or a universal truth regarding everything which is contained within something may only be said to be an approximation or guess, lest it be a finite set whose members are all known about.

Usually for people who fucked up in highschool. Usually, they give "precalculus" for the first week of calc1, but for extreme brainlets they dedicate an entire class. Its basically basic algebra followed by functions and trig stuff. Its just the basics needed to understand and work calculus problems.

OP, just at least get a 60. It's probably not highly credited and theres no need to blow your brains out or worry about it too much, it will only make it worse. Just make sure you do all of the problems given and that you understand everything.

For the bad news, usually they hold your hand pretty well for precalculus. And the problems are similar to practices. In actual calculus classes, the problems on exams will be much harder and some of them you will have not seen a problem very similar before. Get your shit together fast.

Only encouragement I can give you is that I know quite a few brainlets who did good in college through sheer work. This includes pajeets who got through by doing literally every single problem set available, and also a girl who struggled to get a mere 76% in calculus 1 who became a doctor, in a fairly competitive place.

If pajeets and women can do it, you sure can. Just get the help you need, get medicated if necessary, and if all else fails, become humanities undergraduate and start doing drugs.

get off the fuckin' internet and fuckin study. go over your lecture notes and make a list of things you don't understand, then on monday go to your professors office hours or go to your campuses tutoring group and get help.

Failing classes is a MASSIVE waste of time and money and completely unnecessary becasue college courses are designed for you to succeed.

I'm sure you know what you have to do to pass the class, you just don't want to do it.

The kind of stuff that's in my College Algebra textbook are determinants, matrices, imaginary numbers, mathematical induction, polar coordinates, and infinite series. It's mostly stuff that's left out of high school-level Algebra over here in my shitty third world country (Mexico), and that sort of overlaps with Linear Algebra and Calculus.
The book we use is a translation of some old textbook written by an American college professor back in the 1960s, hence why it might not correspond to whatever undergraduate Mathematics students in America learn these days.

Nah, I'm pretty sure there's a fair number of people who know about Abstract Algebra through Youtube videos made by that kind of channels (y'know which ones I mean) that have mass appeal. For the average person, Abstract Algebra is one of those things (similar to what Hegel's writings would be to philosophy-oriented people) that only high IQ intellectuals are capable of handling.

Not sure why they wrote it out like that but

Q $\cdot$ 0.5 $\cdot$ 1.1 = (900,000 $\cdot$ 1.2) + (Q $\cdot$ 0.3)
0.55Q = 1,080,000 + 0.3Q
0.55Q - 0.3Q = 1,080,000
0.25Q = 1,080,000
Q = $\frac{1,080,000}{0.25}$
Q = 4,320,000

I'm in College Algebra currently. Despite being that "smart kid", I became a NEET and ended up dropping out so I didn't get past Algebra/Geometry.

My (community) college requires me to do:
College Algebra
Trigonometry
PreCalculus
Calculus I
Calculus II

pic related is the table of contents for my textbook.

My plan is to finish the book by the end of October, then do self study and test out of trig/precalculus.

Damn, those topics bring me back. But I wonder, historically, when did this become called Algebra? Because in Gauss' time, all of this was under "Arithmetic", and in today's time Algebra means something else. So where did the education system get the idea to name all of these things algebra? It's so bizarre that I do not know the story of how this happened despite having a degree in mathematics.

code for elementary algebra, expect it should cover all elementary functions.
I don't know why OP called it "college" precalc, because that just means it's precalc but in a college. which is meaningless because it's the same material as if it were taught in a middle school, which is were it is usually taught. I mean impinge if it actually took people 8 years to learn precalculus and 4 to learn a cusp of elementary algebra.
that's a laugh, because there is no such thing as a place that retared, I doubt even the Americans are that dysfunctional.

Not in middle school, but I remember being taught about binomial expansion to the second and third power in high school, even though I can't remember getting taught about the binomial theorem and Pascal's triangle till I took my College Algebra course, which couldn't have been done earlier on, since we'd never really seen taught about factorials prior to that.

If it's the latter, then I'm surprised it'd pop up in what's supposed to be an elementary algebra-level textbook. If it's the former, I feel like it should've appeared earlier on.

Do you know if you're at least gonna see Conics in some other class?
For me, conics were helladang difficult when I first saw them in Analytic Geometry (especially problems about finding circles inscribed inside of parabolas, or finding lines that are tangent to an ellipse and that touch some other point), but it's possible to get through them by brute forcing them, and also attempting to work your way backwards through problem solutions, theorems, etc.
One thing that my experiences with language learning taught me that translates quite well over to mathematics is that doing or at least seeing something very often (like, at least every 2 days) is more important than doing the same thing many times in a row.

I think I nearly failed precalculus once as a sophomore in high school, but even then it was like only a C- not technically failing. I had to kick it into gear when I did Calculus my Junior year of HS. Why are you even taking these in College, it is meant for children in high school. When you arrive at college you shouldn't be doing Calc at all. Maybe multivariable calc would be reasonable but they offered that in HS as well so it is still kind of cringe to be taking courses like this at Uni.

If you're not an engineer you're wasting your time, just look at a formula sheet and be done with all of calculus.
