I’m preparing for my chem major and feeling really really uncertain and terrified of what math class I should take first. I need to take calc 1,2 & 3 + linear algebra and differential equations for my transfer requirements but I only took algebra 1 in high school like 6-7 years ago and I took geometry 2 times. Barely passed with a D the second time… never took algebra 2.

I’m not sure if I should be ok with just taking Precalc or if I should start with intermediate algebra, then college algebra, then trig (or Precalc) and then start my calculus sequence.

I’m just scared I’ll need to ask several questions related to algebra in a Precalc class and potentially embarrass myself and look like a fool….
