Hi,
I'm a sophmore in high school, right now I am in honors chemistry and algebra 2, (if you are familiar with science bowl, my school, mira loma, won last year)
I want to learn trig and eventually calculus on my own, with the hopes of understanding high school and college level physics. I have an old textbook from my dad's study, its by Mcgraw hill and it says "Plane Trigonometry with Tables"(1974) is this a good textbook to learn from? If not what is a better method and what would be better for learning calculus and physics on my own?
Also, what are the REAL pre-req.s to learn calculus and trig because there's a lot of stuff I hear like Pre Calculus is not really related or used in Calculus, so what do I need to learn then?
