Pre-Calculus 

The most fucked up class in mathematics, designed to make students hate higher level math before they even get to it. Combines concepts from algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and every lower level denomination of math into a confusing clusterfuck of topics that has no correlation with Calculus- and doesn't even introduce the derivative. Forces students to memorize about 50 different formulas and be able to call them to attention on demand. To name a few; quadratic formula, slope intercept formula, point slope formula, completing the square formula, partial fraction decomposition formula, midpoint formula, factoring by grouping, distance formula, Pythagorean formula, and many more. This course should not exist.

"Hey dude could you help me with this Pre-Calculus problem?"
"No way man, I'm in calc 1- that shit is way too confusing for me"

pre calculus 

shitty wast of time that really fucking sucks if you take advanced. dont even waste your time trying to go for a challenge at this level of math. Take the dipshit level class and maybe you can pass with a d+

Precal student: This sucks. Pre calculus is really fucking dumb.

a TOTAL waste of time and effort

Person 1: You take pre calculus?
Person 2: Yeah, it's mad hard

pre-calculus 

A course on outdated mathematics that is not necessary when a higher level of math has been reached. Its main purpose is to amplify the beauty of Calculus, where everything is so much easier thanks to the derivative.

Pre-Calculus Student: Hey, can you help me with my pre-calculus homework?
Me: No, I'm a mathematician.

precalc

a useless math class designed for students who virtually hate themselves. taught by a useless teacher with small brains and frizzy hair. the tests are impossible and the lessons are (not) taught.

standard precalc formula:

theta = cos(wtf) - sin(lol) x2

n: noun (pronounced puh-ree-cal on-erz)

the leading cause of teenage suicide in America, immediately followed by avril lavigne.

AVERAGE JOE: Hey man! You want to go play a pickup soccer game later with the rest of the seniors?
PRECAL STUDENT: No. I'm in PRECAL HONORS. I'm going to attempt suicide. Maybe next year, during AP Calc...

Precalculus

Precalculus is a mathematics course typically taught in secondary schools and in colleges. Precalculus courses assume a prerequisite knowledge of concepts in intermediate algebra, and is generally designed to prepare students for the study of Calculus.

Topics that are typically covered in precalculus are exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and trigonometric functions as well as complex numbers, polar coordinates, parametric equations, vectors. Topics in trigonometry include trigonometric graphs and identities as well as applications.

After completing Algebra 2 in 9th grade, my teacher determined that I was too smart for precalculus and therefore I enrolled in Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry.
