But really, that shouldn't be an issue either, because you've likely seen it already by the time you get to it in college.
Calculus is easy, provided that you don't question a few foundational things. I've found that a lot of people that had a hard time with Calculus made the mistake of trying too hard to understand some things that you should just let come naturally. I had no idea what the hell my instructor was talking about the first time I saw limits, but I just shrugged and went along with it, mimicking everything I saw until it just kind of clicked. It wasn't until I got to Real Analysis that everything I took on faith became logically sound and crystal clear to me.
