If you do start to do badly in the course then get in touch with your

OK thanks so much Brian and others!!

I'm 49 .....had some calculus in high school but that

Review your precalculus before you start, and, if you have time,
continue to strengthen your precalculus as you take calculus.

If a student's precalculus skills are weak, mastering calculus is
often hopeless.
