    • @Greenemath

      I think using a textbook is the best way to learn math. If you read and work through all of the problems in the textbook on your own, you are really going to be in great shape. Video lectures are okay as long as you are practicing after each lesson.

  • @nitasen530
    @nitasen530 3 месяца назад +1

    So basically, pre calculus covers algebra 2 and college algebra along with trigonometry. So after finishing my algebra 2 course, I could just skip over to pre calculus instead of going through all of the college algebra first? Btw, I am from India and we just call it algebra in school and calculus in college when we're taking the courses, instead of dividing them into all the subdivisions😅.

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  3 месяца назад

      It's crazy the amount of overlap between those courses if you are using a textbook approach. Most teachers in the school system will skip over the stuff already taught in the lower-level course but still there is a lot of repetition.

      Just watching a video would not be finishing a course. It's kind of like saying you attended the lectures but didn't do any homework or take any tests. The most important thing is to practice. Once you have done enough practice for Prealgebra and Algebra 1, then moving on to Precalculus is the next step.

  • @sigh7731
    @sigh7731 3 месяца назад +1

    What about pre-algebra?

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  3 месяца назад

      Some consider Pre-algebra to be topics that come before Algebra. So this would include all of the elementary school math topics. Others mix these elementary school topics with parts of Algebra 1. So it really depends on what resource you are going to use.

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  4 месяца назад +1

      If you are using a textbook, then College Algebra and Precalculus are going to be almost identical for the Algebra portions. I would say just use the Precalculus textbook as you need Trigonometry for Calculus. I would just make sure to have a really good understanding of Algebra 1. That's all you need for Precalculus. Good luck!

    Take them ALL to forge your algebraic skills into a strong foundation.
    If your Algebra is weak then you'll limp through Trigonometry and likely fail Calculus.

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  4 месяца назад

      I think if you are doing sufficient practice, then you don't need all the courses. The main issue is that students want to fly through stuff with just a video and don't do any practice or very little. Think about how much progress you would make if you did every problem in an Algebra 1 textbook. You'd be fully ready for Precalculus.

    • @musashi4856
      @musashi4856 4 месяца назад

      @@Greenemath Algebra 2 & College Algebra introduce various abstracts that bootstrap neuroplasticity and creativity in finding the x. In my opinion, the average person who skips these courses will possess foundational gaps in knowledge that will impede comprehension as they progress. Rote “memorization” will be leveraged even further as a crutch which will stifle conceptual progress in mathematics and other problem solving disciplines.

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  4 месяца назад +2

      @musashi4856 If you are using a textbook based approach for self-study, then an Algebra 2 and College Algebra course are going to be very similar. If you take Algebra 1 and then Precalculus, you will have covered all the materials from Algebra (Algebra 1, 2, College Algebra). Gaps come from not practicing.

  • @richardkawala819
    @richardkawala819 4 месяца назад +1

    Could I interest you in doing a video like this for Calculus? I'm a self-studier, and I'm confused when I see that there's Calculus AB, and Calculus BC, at the high-school level. There's also Calculus 1-2 at the college level. Or Calculus 1-3 at some places. It'd be great to see a comparison of all the options.

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  4 месяца назад +2

      It would be a good topic but I don't think I have any Calculus AB or BC textbooks. All the Calculus books I have are normal textbooks that are used at the University level. Calculus AB is the introduction to Calculus, so it's very close to Calculus 1. Calculus BC covers all the topics from Calculus 1 and 2. Again, this is going to be based on your teacher but if you use a textbook approach that's what it looks like. This is a good reference:

    So we skip geometry too after algebra 1 and go straight to precal?

    • @Greenemath
      @Greenemath  3 месяца назад +1

      This video is a comparison between different Algebra courses. Geometry is typically taken immediately after Algebra 1 in the school system. I would note that if you are going the self study route, then you can do Geometry later on. The Geometry needed for Trigonometry is always taught at the beginning of each section where it is required.
