    Hi there

    Which of these would help in learning the math in Computer Science (classes are from Khan academy)?

    If you don't know, what would be a good order to get a solid grounding in maths (leaving out the really simple stuff like Early Math etc.)?

    I'm thinking
    1. Algebra I
    2. Algebra II
    3. Linear algebra

    4. Precalculus ??
    5. Integral Calculus ???
    6. Differential Calculus ??
    7. Multivariate Calculus


    Are any geometry classes needed for calculus?

    All of them, especially the linalg and any Stats.

    Yeah, I'm quite good at stats.

    But I'm really trying to figure out the order of the calculus modules I should take

    Does this seem right (i.e. should I take Intelgral Calc before Dif and Multi?)

    4. Precalculus ??
    5. Integral Calculus ???
    6. Differential Calculus ??
    7. Multivariate Calculus

    Thanks

    The usual order would be differential calculus before integral calculus before multivariable calculus.

    Maybe others here have other opinions. I know a few are way more qualified than I am to comment.
