AP High School Calculus? Ummm...I think not.

Simple enough...unless you are truly a gifted student and have already mastered one of those massive Pre-Calculus Algebra books you should forget about taking high school calculus. High school is the time to truly master algebra. After all, calculus is just the manipulation of algebraic concepts, not some new math that is so way beyond anybody that people taking it are called "Einsteins!" Not really, calculus is just more better algebra...at least for you beginning students. Later on, if you are a math major, it can become something new and exciting, but you'd better have the basics down pat! OK, don't believe me? Well how about Harvard?

You've been so advised, now do it!!!
