<p>is IB math equivalent to .....</p>
<p>AP Statistics
AP Calculus AB
AP Calculus BC?</p>
<p>likewise, does IB PHYSICs cover everything that is covered in: </p>
<p>AP Physics C
AP Physics B </p>
<p>....our school offers pure math IB (and i'm hoping it's the same thing as just "math" IB)..is it?</p>
<p>IB Mathematical Studies SL = AP Statistics
IB Mathematical Methods SL = AP Calculus AB
IB Mathematics HL = AP Calculus BC & some multivariable calculus
IB Physics SL = AP Physics B
IB Physics HL = AP Physics B&C</p>
<p>If I'm not mistaken, IB Mathematical Methods SL and Mathematics HL both include Statistics too.</p>
<p>IB Physics HL is non-calc based. Thus, it != Physics C</p>
<p>Are you sure about the multivariable? I'm in HL Math right now, took calc BC last year, and am doing weird stuff like set theory, analytic geometry and things like that. I know stat is on the syllabus, but it seems like we won't be doing any more advanced calc. Is it maybe one of the options?</p>
<p>Also, I am currently taking IB Mathematical Methods SL. It is almost completely AP Calc AB so far. </p>
<p>How easy is HL math? Is it just an introduction to a lot of college math? THe course study guide from Australia didn't impress me - I already knew much of the material within it.</p>
<p>lavenderdream- Yes, Math HL and Methods contain statistics, but that is not the main focus of the course (Options).</p>
<p>simfish- Physics HL does not require the use calculus, and its Options are not really covered in AP. However, many schools have combined classes with Physics HL and AP Physics C students, and most colleges award the same credit.</p>
<p>towerpumpkin- You're right about multivariable (wrong word choice). What I was trying to get across is that Mathematics HL includes AP Calc BC and more (dicrete math, Euclidian geometry/conic sections, sets, etc.). Most schools in my area offer the first year of Math HL with Calc BC students and the second year with Calc III students. :)</p>
