I have taught Algebra 2 and College Algebra. College Algebra is just Algebra 1& 2 in one semester. Pre-Calculus combines College Algebra and Trigonometry in one semester.
You are a really good teacher. I had my math exam and I was confused how to get the best marks in the exam but I learned a lot from your course. I got very good marks in your teaching method test. Your teaching method is incredible. You seem to be a good mathematician. God bless you sir
good video. cleared up some confusion for me and definitely provided me with a big picture view of the teaching structure. I do like how the fundamentals are reinforced as the student advances through the courses.
So basically, pre calculus covers algebra 2 and college algebra along with trigonometry. So after finishing my algebra 2 course, I could just skip over to pre calculus instead of going through all of the college algebra first? Btw, I am from India and we just call it algebra in school and calculus in college when we're taking the courses, instead of dividing them into all the subdivisions😅.
It's crazy the amount of overlap between those courses if you are using a textbook approach. Most teachers in the school system will skip over the stuff already taught in the lower-level course but still there is a lot of repetition.
THANK YOU FOR THIS AND THE RESOURCES!! I was planning to restudy everything cuz I flunked my Calc1 :( and I just wanna ask, is it better for me to read those resources and do the textbook approach or watch your full courses and the practices instead?
I think using a textbook is the best way to learn math. If you read and work through all of the problems in the textbook on your own, you are really going to be in great shape. Video lectures are okay as long as you are practicing after each lesson.
@@Greenemath There are quite a few stat classes that i can see and I'm not sure which order is correct. Introductory statistics, High School statistics, Introductory Business statistics and Business statistics.
openstax.org/details/books/statistics This is a free book to start with that covers all of the major topics of an introductory statistics course. Business statistics and statistics textbooks are going to be very similar. www.amazon.com/Statistics-Business-Economics-James-McClave/dp/0134506596 www.amazon.com/Statistics-13th-James-T-McClave/dp/0134080211 If you look at the table of contents for each book, there are only a few differences. The business statistics book covers some topics from econometrics that is left our of the other book.

Take them ALL to forge your algebraic skills into a strong foundation. If your Algebra is weak then you'll limp through Trigonometry and likely fail Calculus.
I think if you are doing sufficient practice, then you don't need all the courses. The main issue is that students want to fly through stuff with just a video and don't do any practice or very little. Think about how much progress you would make if you did every problem in an Algebra 1 textbook. You'd be fully ready for Precalculus.
@@Greenemath Algebra 2 & College Algebra introduce various abstracts that bootstrap neuroplasticity and creativity in finding the x. In my opinion, the average person who skips these courses will possess foundational gaps in knowledge that will impede comprehension as they progress. Rote “memorization” will be leveraged even further as a crutch which will stifle conceptual progress in mathematics and other problem solving disciplines.
@musashi4856 If you are using a textbook based approach for self-study, then an Algebra 2 and College Algebra course are going to be very similar. If you take Algebra 1 and then Precalculus, you will have covered all the materials from Algebra (Algebra 1, 2, College Algebra). Gaps come from not practicing.
Some consider Pre-algebra to be topics that come before Algebra. So this would include all of the elementary school math topics. Others mix these elementary school topics with parts of Algebra 1. So it really depends on what resource you are going to use.
Could I interest you in doing a video like this for Calculus? I'm a self-studier, and I'm confused when I see that there's Calculus AB, and Calculus BC, at the high-school level. There's also Calculus 1-2 at the college level. Or Calculus 1-3 at some places. It'd be great to see a comparison of all the options.
It would be a good topic but I don't think I have any Calculus AB or BC textbooks. All the Calculus books I have are normal textbooks that are used at the University level. Calculus AB is the introduction to Calculus, so it's very close to Calculus 1. Calculus BC covers all the topics from Calculus 1 and 2. Again, this is going to be based on your teacher but if you use a textbook approach that's what it looks like. This is a good reference: blog.collegeboard.org/difference-between-ap-calculus-ab-and-bc

As a late learner of maths, what would I do without you? Thank you again, sir.
You are very welcome, glad the video was helpful!

Each school will have a different definition based on the school district.
Thanks as someone who is self studying this helps clear up what I should be doing.
Great, glad to hear that!

I liked this video right away. This video is exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you

Thank you! I was confused, and now I am better equipped.
You are very welcome!
That's what I needed. Thank you
Glad I could help
I just had this question like yesterday
Damn, thanks man!
You are very welcome, hopefully that helps to clarify the difference between the courses.
mine too
You are the best 🎉 Thanks for all your lessons!
Glad you like them!
You're a legend man
Thanks!
yes, he is.

@jiebee.4579 You are very welcome, good luck!
This was incredibly helpful. Any chance you do the same comparison for Statistics?
What different Statistics courses are you trying to compare?

Hi. I was wondering if you are planning on creating a full geometry course and practice course?
Geometry would require thousands of custom images, which I would never be able to create. This is a playlist from Professor Rob Bob.

I love Garfield! :D
Also, thank you so much for your awesome super helpful videos!
You are very welcome! Thanks for the nice comment and I hope the Garfield movie is good so we get another one.

I downloaded the precalculus ebook. Thanks. Do you offer a calculus course?
No
What’s Abstract Algebra?
That's a class you would take as a math major. Here is a good video:

What about pre-algebra?
Some consider Pre-algebra to be topics that come before Algebra. So this would include all of the elementary school math topics. Others mix these elementary school topics with parts of Algebra 1. So it really depends on what resource you are going to use.
No audio is available for this video.
Not sure why it's not working for you, it's playing with audio on my devices.
Yeah I have audio working too.
alg 1 + alg 2 = college algebra
alg 1 + alg 2 + trigonometry = precalculus = college algebra + trigonometry
College Algebra has some additional topics that Algebra 2 does not contain if you go based on the textbook, although the courses are highly similar.

I would give you money if I had any
That's nice of you to say but UA-cam creators get money from ads.
The only way to advance is to understand math👍
Math can be a very useful tool if you want to get into a STEM career.
