useful review topics before taking college physics...?

[terre]

sorry!! i only have a question. I would like to know what is recommended as review in algebra and geometry for a college physics class.

There are many good websites for algebra and geometry tutorials.
However, surely a college physics course will require calculus.
Is that not the case with you?

help me out

I feel ok with about my calculus but a little shady in algebra and geometry.I need to practice math so I don't forget ,but I usually don't. I have to now it's just about my major!! It's crazy I know!!!!!

you feel ok with calculus ... but you're apprehensive about algebra and geometry?

got news for you ... lots of trig in physics, too.

Math is not my favorite but it's necessary!!!

I know! i'm just not confident in my math but able to learn. I've been passing by calculus classes. I forget things that's the problem and in college you can't forget things, so I'm working on it. I'm a good student on scholarship. So, what do you suggest, study suggestions maybe!!!

I recommend you look at the physics text that you're going to use ... it will give you a good idea on what math knowledge is required.

Most good physics texts have a math chapter or addendum to review forgotten concepts also.
