Hi All,
I will need to take the physics I & II sequence within the next year to stay on my time course, but I am not sure how I should prepare myself for it. I have not taken any math since junior year of high school (6 years ago got up to pre calc), and hardly remember any algebra. Does anyone have any recommendations on textbooks or specific math topics that I should study before taking physics. I have read that pre-calc and trig are the basis for algebra based physics, but I want to get an opinion from those who have taken physics 1 and 2 on what I should expect and maybe a recommendation on things I should be absolutely solid on before taking.
Thanks so much.
