Re: How much Calculus?

I teach math and Physics as my day job and moonlight as a robotics coach. I can safely say that "hard" subjects like Calculus and AP Physics B/C become a heck of a lot easier when you have mastered the algebra skills required to get to the applications that are the focus of the respective classes. Don't worry too much about how much calculus is needed. Math is just one tool. Real life problem solving skills are much harder to learn.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
