Math for kids outside of the Calculus Sequence

My high school math ended with algebra. I placed out of geometry and trig and went into calculus my first semester in college. I was not prepared. Do not recommend.

I ended up going the opposite direction. My 11th grade trigonometry teacher forced me to repeat trig despite my having gotten a B. I was angry at the time! She did me a favor because by the time I got to Calculus in University it was very intuitive and I didn’t have much of a problem with it.

I had something similar at uni. Guidance plan had me goto Calculus without doing Trig, despite not having studied Trig in years. I had to withdraw from Calc twice.
