[nabs-l] Scheduling

[helga.schreiber26 at gmail.com]

Hi Lillie, this is Helga. Yeah, it all depends what carreer you are 
persuing. I am actually in college and I took Pre-Calculus last semester. 
Pre-Calculus is not to hard, the only thing you have to keep in mind that 
involves a lot of visual,but you can ask your TVI or your parents to help 
you with some of it. The reason I took Pre-Calculus, rather than taking 
Statistics, was because my Professor who taught me College Algebra didn't 
teach Statistics, and that is why I pick her Pre-Calculus class. And I also 
took the class because I needed another Math class in order for me to 
graduate with my Associates of Arts degree. But before that I took College 
algebra. you are probably in high school right? And I'm actually thinking in 
taking Trig later on in my Carreer. Just to let you know, I want to become a 
Lawyer. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and God bless!! :)

It depends on what career you want if you want anything that will require
even one semester of Calculus then you need those classes and you do not
want to waste time taking them in college.

If you want to do anything with engineering or computer science you will
need 3 semesters of college calculus, biology requires calculus for life
sciences.

So the answer really depends on your career goals.
