I didn't take calculus in high school and I don't remember a lot from pre-calculus, is there anything I should review/learn about for this class? Thanks!

The math done in this class is pretty straight forward if you follow the formulas given in the problems and use the formula sheet. I do not think knowing calculus will advance anything as Professor Lavelle goes through each type of math used in lectures. You should be fine.

It doesn't seem like a big background in calculus is really needed for the class as all the math is usually done through plugging in values into many different equations, so as long as you understand how to work the equations and what values are what you should be fine without any additional math preparation

Most of the math that will be done is algebraic--isolating variables and rearranging equations. As long as you can do that, you won't have to worry about the math being too difficult!
