Should you take this class?
The short answer is "YES."
If you did well (earned
a B or better) in
high school pre-calculus or Math 110 at BYU, you should be well-prepared
for Math 112.
Most students who took the AP calculus exam should also take Math 112.
Students who earned a 5 on the AB form of the AP calculus exam can
probably go straight to Math 113 and survive, but generally we
recommend you take 112 anyway, because Math 112 is quite different
from high school calculus.
When am I ever going to use this?
Ever wonder what math is good for, and why the university and your
major require you to take all this math? The Math Department
has a site to answer your
question
When Will I Use
Math?
All the things you forgot
Most students, whether they have had calculus before or not, find they
need to brush up on algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. Attached are
some handouts with a review of the main material you need to know. I
recommend you work lots of the exercises to see if you remember all
that you need to know. Unfortunately the trigonometry review does not have
answers, but the other two do, so you can make sure you did the
problems right.
