I just finished my sophomore year of high school and I'm taking Math 1A and physics 8A this summer. I got A's for both my physics II (school doesn't offer AP phys) and advanced algebra 2 + trig (I think it's equivalent to precalc, highest level offered in my grade) classes, but I feel like the stuff i learn at my school is really watered down, so I'm a bit anxious taking my first ever university level course. Also I read online that Math 1A is a difficult weeder course so that adds to the anticipated difficulty as well.
I've got around 2 weeks before the courses start, how should I spend this time to prepare? I downloaded a calculus textbook from openstax and I'm thinking maybe I should work through it as much as possible on my own before the course starts, is that a good idea? I've never taken calculus before. What should I do to prepare for physics 8a? How difficult are these courses? Can you give me some advice for after the courses start?
Thanks
