Who is number 1 and who is number 2

Pretty awesome to have two top 10 rbs and you could make an argument for both (possibly 3 in Bonner)

I go back and forth whose film i like more. Nice problem to have! Especially when you consider the RB combo this time last year

Notre Dame ain't taking that 3 in AP Enviro Jonaz!

Seriously kudos to the dudes who know that in 9th grade they'll be playing football on Saturdays but they continue to push themselves academically. Dude could be bullshitting in a Sports Marketing class and C level English and still probably get through ND admissions.

Seriously, I'm so damn envious of some of these kids' maturity.

They are born with exceptional genetics, continue working hard, don't fall in love with themselves and some even have the drive to be excellent students. Whatever Jonaz's parents are doing, I hope they share the template. This '26 class is easy to root for!

But seriously... what is AP "pre"-calculus? Is this new? Is the point to give you an extra year of AP math? (Obviously, there are hard math problems that are not Calculus.)

Quick google says it was introduced in 2023 for schools to offer a standardized college level precalculus level curriculum... Not sure what college course it would actually replace, maybe get a math credit out of the way for non-STEM majors?

Pre calculus is an introductory college math class that is required for many college undergraduates. It’s like a misfire of more advanced Algebra III and introduction to derivatives and integrals with a heavy emphasis on the initial derivative functions and rules.

It’s pretty much required in college if you didn’t get it in HS. It wasn’t offered when I was in HS so I had to take it in college to get to Calculus120

I had to take it as well. As I remember it, over 20 years ago, it was "advanced" Algebra + 'trigometry' + entry level derivative 'thinking' that ensured you were well-grounded in mathematical thinking before tackling the calculus series.

As an aside, Calc II was one of my hardest classes because I didn't ever 'Grok' it. I took it over summer in a truncated window and had a South Korean professor with a heavy accent and spent most of the time memorizing formulas to eek out C's. Humbling experience. I've heard mixed reactions to the class whenever I poll people on it.

It was called Advanced Math Concepts at my HS and included Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra and entry level Calculus. It definitely seemed “advanced” for my brain 🤣

That's interesting I can remember my Freshman year (Summer) of college and I had Calculus II with a South Korean Professor as well

My calculus instructor was from China and his accent was brutal. I can still hear him speak and wonder to myself how the hell I was ever going to pass the class. Thank god for tutors.

I was a pretty lazy and mediocre math student in grade school and high school. I somehow got stuck in the Honors/AP track in high school just scraping along doing the bare minimum, had AP Calc Senior year. I wound up with a C in that class just barely, and my confidence in passing the AP test was low so I didn't even bother to take it...which turned out to be a mistake.

When I got to college they started me in some Business Calc class, which was essentially a carbon copy of everything I learned Senior year. I still didn't try very hard, but everything was more or less old hat so I got a B in that class.

I ended up transferring schools after a few years and switched from a more Business IS degree to a Software programming centric major. The new school was on quarters instead of semesters, and they didn't accept my Business Calc class as a transfer because their intro Calc class was "more intense and refined" as they put it. As it turned out it was the same damn Calc principles and functionality I learned in high school and at the previous college, it was just scrunched into a smaller time frame of a quarter instead of a semester. Finally got an A at least, 3rd time's the charm and all.

So...I essentially passed the same damn Calc class three different times and now I'm decent at math finally. Great waste of money, considering I haven't used any Calculus in the last 20 years.

I took all the AP classes I could for the weighted grade and was a pretty decent Honors Math student all the way through. All A’s in Alg2/Geo/PreCal…but I just did not get Calculus. Luckily I had a buddy in there who ended up going into the AirForce Academy and now works for NASA and he got me through with a B. They made us sit for the AP test, I slept the whole time. Besides “geometric proofs,” Calculus is the only time in my life I’ve ever felt dumb.

Calculus III was by far the most useful and interesting class but also was the hardest one I took. CalculusII was hard and just difficult. I had to take a Differential Equations Class and that was absolutely amazing and fun.
