Pre-Calculus online class question

[Engnr]

Hey guys, I'm trying to avoid taking a pre-calculus class so i can take Calculus in the spring.
I found resources from OCW which I'm going to use in order to learn on my own in the Fall so I'll be prepared in the spring for Calculus. Can somebody please take 10-15 minutes to look over this link and let me know if this covers what the 'normal' Pre-Calc class would cover to prepare me for Calc 1? Thanks a lot!

How about this? Why don't you take 10-15 minutes and post a summary of what's in the course notes?

Looks pretty standard. If you are able to master this stuff on your own, you will be in good shape for Calculus.

Excellent! Thank you Mark, sorry for being so 'lazy' in the original post. I thought it would be a bit of a 'spam' session if I posted all of that in the original post lol. Thanks again!
