Which topic to study next?

[u/HelicopterEconomy950]

Heyooo i’m not sure if this is the right subreddit as i am not a big reddit user so apologies if it’s not but i have a question.

Context is i am entering uni next year and am brushing up on my math. I’ll be doing Intro to calculus and intro to physics as a bridging.

I have covered the essentials to a basic degree(Real number, basic sentenial logic, rational and irrational numbers, inequalities etc),

Then in a more thorough and rigorous degree for high school standards linear and simultaneous equations, linear relations, indices and surds, basic trig(Pythag, sohcahtoh etc). Am currently working through quadratics(factorisation, graphing, calculations relation to parabolas etc) and essentially i am not entirely sure where to go next.

I have precalculus by James stewart which covers functions, parametrics, vectors, systems of equations, conics, sequences aswell as trigonometric functions.

I am a 21 year old CAD draftsman and use parametric equations at work, unsure if that’s the same thing as the parametric outlined in precalculus.

Essentially i wanna know from people who’re further down this math path than i; Is precalculus the most logical next step? i want to ensure i am not skipping anything.

I have it in my head that a good foundation is a good idea for progressing in math.

Note: I have done no statistics and will be doing an engineering degree.

You seem more than prepared for the pre calculus topics.

If you really want to be thorough, you may first wish to read up on set theory and proofs to get a handle on bike tube functions and infinite set cardinalities. Hammack’s Book of Proof is a good resource for this.
