fractals

thanks for your opinion guys. im going to take trig just to get good at it...because i probably wont devote a lot of my time studying on my own. im also taking linear algebra as well this semester, which is required. I still think discrete math/graph theory was harder than those courses. I strugged in that class...but ended up wih a B. Like I said, im a CS major and a math minor...the only reason I am minoring in math is because I would only need a couple of more classes in my CS degree plan to get my minor.

I took a LONG break from school and stopped at college algebra. I am taking Pre-cal during this summer, but they skipped over any trig in the book since its a short 6-week session. I have a choice in taking Cal next semester, or taking Trig. I know the very BASICS of trig, such as what sin/cos, etc are from a triangle, but none of the identities, circle units, etc. Some of my peers say that a trig course isnt needed, and that I can learn myself. Is this true? Right now I am undecided what is best for me. I had a hard time doing polar coordinated in precal because of the basic trig. Other than that, I have an A in the course(i have final next week). So...should I take trig? Or continue on to Cal and learn trig by myself? I have to take Cal I - III. I am a CS major. please any input.... BTW, Trig was a pre-req for pre-cal...but I took pre-cal at a community college before and got a D, thats why they allowed me to take pre-cal without trig at the university.
