You’re a Metorologist? Awesome! Once I get past the College Algebra I’ll be on my way.Calculus looks like something that will short-curcuit my brain!
I never got past geometry in high school.
Trig is pretty useful.
I wouldn’t recommend trying calc the way I did it, but it CAN be done.
It’s difficult, but at the same time, it was easier than I expected.
A huge chunk of it is just being able to manipulate the everyday, ordinary kind of math- algebra basically.
If you want a leg up on calc, you can either try digging up some Saxon Math for the advanced math, pre calc kind, or go for the *_______ for Dummies* series that you can find in any bookstore. They have Calculus for Dummies which is pretty good.
Calc the second time through is much easier. You’ll do yourself a favor by familiarizing yourself with it before taking the class.
It helps to be good in physics. Meteorology is just applied physics, thermodynamics and fluid flow.
Just FYI.
