    These days, if you don't know Calculus and Trigonometry, you won't get far if you plan on pursuing a technical career. Georgia Tech and Auburn are two of the best schools I can think of for anything technical or engineering. You can also go to Southern Polytech or Kennesaw and transfer over as well. Most science majors require at least Calculus II. I'm doing Calculus IV for Aerospace Engineering at GT, and I still have one more class left, but then again, it's not for everyone lol.

    actually, i thought calc 3 was alot easier to understand than calc 2. calc 2 is all integrals, and calc 3 is basically partial derivatives and surface integrals. the integrals are a whole lot easier since you don't have to remember all those trig identities for integrals. although i have heard of at least one person dropping out of GT altogether just because of failing calc 3. it gets even worse with differential equations.
