Planning on hitting the books every day for at least an hour plus my breaks at work to refresh my knowledge before I start class. I still have my old algebra, trig, and calc books I can work from.
The question is: Is 2 months enough time to get enough studying in to be prepared for calculus 2 after not having done a single math problem in years? Or should I wait another semester to go back so I can be fully prepared to pick up where I left off?
I'm nervous about it and need advice.
Thanks
Just do a bit each day and you'll be fine. Make a set time when you do it, like working out.
When you get to school check go see if there are tutoring programs as well. Good job going back to school anon, good luck with your studies.

End of August? You have loads of time. Find out what the textbook is, get it, and get working at it. If you're lost, go back to your old calc book and work through that whole thing and try again.
Calc is actually easy, if you have a math brain. It makes sense. When in doubt, derive that shit. Limits as x approaches infinity? Easy, keep deriving until you find the roots not affected by the variable. Practise your graphing too.
I was a math major at uni, so I know what you mean. Don't get intimidated. It'll just take some extra work for you to remind yourself of what you already know. You'll be fine with some work, anon! Don't look at is as wasted time or work, it's all about solving puzzles and decrypting codes. It's actually fun if there's no pressure and you have the right attitude.
Thank you guys, you calmed my nerves about this a bit.
