Is there a recommended order to these? I skipped two years of math in High School and ended up BSing my way through Calculus without learning any of it, so I'm trying to figure out what I may need to fill the gaps



The calc sequence I presented is 'canonical' and independent of the linear algebra text I posted.

If you're ambitious (or smarter than me) you could tackle both at the same time.

EDIT: By skip two years, what do you mean? Did you miss out on the typical pre-calc/college algebra/trig courses?


Yeah, we had a pre-tests for algebra & trig but I read the textbook before the class started and got 100% on the pre-tests, so they skipped me ahead. In retrospect I regret it.
