Seeking advice for the simplest Secondary Math course in college?

Hello! I'm not the best at math but it's a required course category for the major I want to study in college. As such, I'm looking for suggestions: what are some of the easiest secondary math courses that you've found in your college experience? Appreciate the input!

Often, the "easiest" math course can vary depending on the individual's strengths and the institution's curricula. However, the most common ones that many students find to be a bit more approachable are College Algebra, Probability and Statistics, and Business Math if it's applicable to your major.

College Algebra often serves as a bridge course between high school and college-level mathematics, covering topics like linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Its focus on algebra skills rather than abstract concepts makes it manageable for many students.

Probability and Statistics is another course often considered more accessible as it relies less on algebra and more on interpretation and logical thinking. It involves the study of probability, averages, predictions, and statistical graphics. Its practical examples from real-world scenarios also keep it more relatable and interesting.

If you are a Business major, Business Math can be a useful choice, as it applies mathematical concepts in a business setting. It handles tasks like calculating interest, markup, markdown, and reading financial statements, which can make it practical and straightforward.

But remember, what might seem easy to one person might seem challenging to another. It's important to be sure that the class aligns with your interests and learning style. It might be helpful to look at the course description in your college's course catalog or speak with a professor or academic advisor who can provide guidance based on your strengths and major. Best of luck!
