If he can calculate the area under that line.

If he can understand why dividing a measured 3.0 grams into four even samples results in four samples weighing 0.8 grams each and not 0.75 grams.

If he understands the math for calculating standard deviation (and, better yet, understands why it is important and what it means).

If he can drum the number 6.02x10^23 into his head and understand what it means.

Then he probably has enough grasp of the math of early chemistry to keep up.

And this is the sound of BTD's brain melting.

I kinda wish they had offered chem before bio here...AP Bio would have been a lot easier if I had a better understanding of chemistry.

Sig Figs were pretty easy for me...it was anything that dealed with mols that confused me.
