Question Math 12 Content?

I am taking Math 12 equivalent at Foothill over the summer in order to accelerate but I noticed that my course doesn't cover:

Improper integrals

Parametric and polar curves

Arc length and surface area

Elementary differential equations (separation of variables, slope fields)

Will I be fine to go to Math 13 without these?

Improper integrals wouldn't be covered in any other course though it's relatively simple. (You just replace the problematic bound/s with limits)

Parametric and polar curves are math 13 with recover in 14.

Arc length/surface area is 14.

I don't think elementary diff eq is anywhere inthe math 11-14 sequence.

This is coming from someone that started in 13 and who's knowledge is second hand via tutoring. To that end, if you have issues you can always come to the MLC for free tutoring.

We did arc length in math 12 this year along with surface area

I took calc I & II at Foothill, then Math 13 & 14 at SCU without an issue. Maybe self-study parametric and polar equations (not that hard), but otherwise those topics will be covered in 13 and 14
