We&#8217;ve set a precalculus prerequisite for MoM so if you have any significant trouble with problems in algebra, geometry, or trigonometry, you should fill in this background now or else seriously consider postponing your study of calculus and calculus-based physics until you have taken further preparatory classes (such as precalculus). \u00a0You can use your old textbooks for review material, and there are tremendous resources available on the web.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve included some links below.
