Judith Said:

where can i take subjects like algebra, calculus and chemistry for a short time?

We Answered:

I suggest your local community college. These public colleges are low in cost and close to home, and the difficulty is less. If you do well and get good grades, you may re-apply to the university. I suggest applying now, because our local community college starts for Spring semester on January 31.

Algebra to Calculus to Physics - What is the sequence in more defined terms?

We Answered:

You pretty much have it. Algebra, geometry, trig, calculus. After that it's linear algebra, differential equations, modern algebra, real and complex analysis, tensors, maybe some algebraic number theory and/or topology, and lots of applications.

Tyler Said:

Should I take college algebra, calculus, or trigonometry?

We Answered:

Trig in your junior year, and calculus in your senior year, especially if you are doing anything math-related in college. If not, the college algebra may be enough.

What is a really good website or software package for learning Algebra through Calculus type stuff?

We Answered:

For Algebra

When you come to a certain topic, you can also Wikipedia for specific subjects. And don't rule out textbooks, particularly Math Handbooks that itemize all the rules for mathematics.

What class is hardest and easiest between linear algebra, calculus 4, and differential equations?

We Answered:

A) Linear algebra: by far the easiest of the three for me. Took it the summer after my junior year of high school (which should say enough). Struck me as "fancy names for what I learned in high school algebra" class. Beware though, I took it from a numerical analyst -- if you take it from a pure mathematician the course is liable to be more theory and proof-oriented. I went to school at UT Austin, where there actually different linear algebra courses for science and math majors. In any case, many concepts in linear algebra prove to be useful in both:

B) Differential equations: only course I made a B in, and that was because I took it from a senile 90 year old emeritus prof who wore a bowtie to class every day, where the homework consisted of random problems with horrible boundary conditions the prof came up with out of nowhere, that I frequently did not do. You will need a good grasp on single-variable calculus, especially integration and series, but a lot of the heavier DE stuff is saved for later courses. The fun begins in:

C) Vector calculus: this was the first math course I took as a full-time college student, along with number theory. I didn't have too much problem with it personally, but I can't conceive of having done it without having studied vector spaces in linear algebra first. Visualization is key here: ask yourself if you could do application problems in calc 2 with volumes and areas. If so, you might not have so much trouble here. As a funny aside, I showed up an hour and a half late for the three hour final.

Ernest Said:

is it easier to take up and learn calculus, algebra and geometry OR take up and learn accounting?

We Answered:

accounting, its mostly algebraic functions

Franklin Said:

Why is Maths split up into Algebra and Calculus in American schools?

We Answered:

idk i guess its just levels in the school like 1 level Pre-Algebra/Algebra, 2 level Calculus, 3 level i guess Algebra 2.
and yes my school actually all the schools are like that
