Calculus in itself is not hard, it is usually remembering the algebra and previous math classes that is hard. New concepts are introduced in Calculus, but isn't it the same with any new subject? For example, many problems in integration, the actual calculus is not the hard part, it is using all of the algebra and other concepts you have used your whole life to simplify the problem so it is easy to solve.
That is not an easy question to answer. Many people find math hard in general and certainly some people find calculus hard to understand.Multivariable calculus is not really harder than single variable calculus. It is lots of fun since you learn about double and triple integrals, partial derivatives and lots more.I strongly suggest it for anyone who is thinking about taking it.
Pre-calculus is supposed to be a stringent review of trig and algebra in preparation for calculus. So, pre-calculus, I would say.
Im still taking Integral Calculus now, but for me, if you dont know Differential Calculus you will not know Integral Calculus, because Integral Calculus need Differential. So, as an answer to that question, ITS FAIR
In short, no. Elementary calculus includes finding limits, basic differentiation and integration, dealing with sequences and series, and simple vector operations, among other concepts. Pre-calculus mostly focuses on the algebra necessary to perform those operations, with perhaps some introduction to limits or other simple ideas from elementary calculus.
Some high schools have a class called "math analysis" which is before calculus, so yes. To mathematicians, however, "analysis" is a synonym for "modern" calculus, and as such, there are classes usu. taught at universities with a similar name, but far beyond basic calculus.
No, it is not.
you don't go from algebra to calculus and linear algebra. you go from algebra to geometry to advanced algebra with trig to pre calculus to calculus 1 to calculus 2 to calculus 3 to linear algebra. so since you got an A+ in algebra, I think you are good.
That should probably be easy. Try it out to be sure.
Calculus will help but there is more to physics than just that.
Brushing and flossing can remove plaque which causes calculus to form. But once calculus does form, it is too hard and firmly attached to be removed with a toothbrush. dental visits are necessary so that calculus build up can be professionally removed with sharp instruments. Source: i am a dentist

Pre-calculus refers to concepts that need to be learned before, or as a prerequisite to studying calculus, so no. First one studies pre-calculus then elementary calculus.
Being good at basic math will definitely help with Calculus. Boolean algebra is fairly different from Calculus, so it is hard to say how much it will help. Boolean algebra does help with some critical thinking skills, which will be helpful in Calculus to an extent.
Pre-calculus is hard because it is very algebra intensive but forces you to also incorporate your geometry and trigonometry to solve complex problems. Not only this, but precalculus is designed to expose you to a few of the oddities in advanced mathmatics (holes, end behavior etc). Calculus is then even more difficult because it differs so greatly from pre-calculus. rather than definite answers and standard functions, you now move into "theoretical math," where many problems either have very complex answers or no answer at all, and very often, you are required to prove that your answers are logical using mathematical therums. however without your strong base from pre-calculus, trying to learn these new concepts would be almost completely impossible. My advice you anyone struggling in either calculus or pre-calculus would be to keep at it. study hard and practice as much as possible. Good luck!
False. What makes calculus "hard" is the Algebra. If you have a good understanding of Algebra, you will not struggle in calculus, especially considering the fact that the fundamentals of the class- Calculus 1- aren't very difficult to grasp.
Just about all of calculus is based on differential and integral calculus, including Calculus 1! However, Calculus 1 is more likely to cover differential calculus, with integral calculus soon after. So there really isn't a right answer for this question.
