A Knowledge Primer

Name: Anonymous 2008-07-30 0:03

I'm starting college in the fall.

Computer Science.

But my math skills are like swiss cheese, and I never bothered with chemistry.

Of course, I'm taking General Chemistry and Calculus. Prereqs and all that.

Here's the deal; Anyone have anything I can use, or somewhere I can go to brush up on these subjects? Everything from Algebra to Geometry and Calculus itself wouldn't hurt. As for Chem, anything would be a help. I never really bothered to study it myself.

I was homeschooled (I didn't have much of a say) and I feel like my education isn't the sturdiest. Go figure. So anyways, any help?

No.

Here's a reality check for you:
1) most freshmen in CS took AP calculus in highschool and in general paid attention in math. If you don't feel comfortable with algebra at this point, you'll never survive upper level CS courses which require tons of discrete math/combinatorics/proofs.
2) you probably have no social skills or communication skills and will not be able to get along with other students.
3) Freshman chemistry generally assumes that you've been introduced to most of the concepts before in highschool, and therefore moves quickly. But even if you understand the concepts, you'll probably fuck up on unit conversions and other simple math on tests and get terrible grades.
