SparklyUnicorn Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Working through a trig course and I"m finding it very boring. I think because I know most of it. But surely I don't. So what topics specifically will be most useful for Calc 2? I think I'll just skip to those parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Take a look at these links and see if they are familiar to you already Differentiation https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/CalcOneDIRECTORY/trigderivdirectory/TrigDerivatives.html Integration https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/CalcTwoDIRECTORY/trigintdirectory/TrigInt.html Area with polar coordinates http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/PolarArea.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 In addition to what Arcadia said, right-triangle trig for trig substitution https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/CalcTwoDIRECTORY/trigsubdirectory/TrigSub.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in SA Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 In addition to what Arcadia said, right-triangle trig for trig substitution https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/CalcTwoDIRECTORY/trigsubdirectory/TrigSub.html This, this, and more of this. Basic trig will suffice for calc 2 except for substitutions - you need to be very comfortable with trigonometric identities and derivations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thank you, very helpful. I forgot the identity stuff...or maybe never learned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Non-trig you need for calc 2 includes polar coordinates, sequences and series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
