After AP Calc BC?

<p>I'm currently taking Acc. Pre Calc (honors to others), and I plan on taking AP Calc BC as a junior; however, my school doesn't offer courses after that. </p>

<p>What do you normally do? Take a class at a CC during the school year? Just leave it as a free period? Retake BC just for fun? (if thats even possible). Another possibility would be to take Discrete Mathematics...</p>

<p>Maybe it'd be better if I just took AB as a junior (to keep that AP weighting during senior year)?</p>

<p>At my school we have a professor from a CC come in and teach Calc 3/Diff Eq.</p>

<p>In my school, most students take AB/BC in their sophomore/junior year. After that they take AP stats and math courses like multi variable calc in a community college.</p>

<p>My school offers a Distance Learning Program with Georgia Tech for Calculus 2/3. I'm excited to take it next year.</p>

<p>Wow. You guys must go to some schools. Our schedule is like this assuming you take only honors so these are the best possible classes to take:</p>

<p>Freshman- Algebra 1
Sophomore- Algebra 2/Geometry Honors (block schedule)
Junior- Pre-Calculus/Trig Honors
Senior- AP Calculus AB</p>

<p>The other only math course is statistics but it's more of an easy elective where you get 100's all semesters.</p>

<p>I'm a junior now but I've heard things about our AP Calc class. The teacher allows no calculator for the tests at all.</p>

<p>So I can take classes like Multivariable calc at a CC <em>during</em> the school year? Just confirming.</p>

<p>The BC teacher I have now let us use a calculator once. Our first semester final was a beefed up AP AB exam that he said he made personal touches to to make it more challenging. Keep in mind this guy has an IQ of 172. That class is pretty crazy.</p>

<p>172? Isn't the average MIT student like 130 or something and genius like Einstein is 140?</p>

<p>I'm not sure about MIT student but I would venture to guess Einstein was better than 140. My teacher also got in a car accident at 16 and got amnesia, he proceeded to teach himself everything over again and got a 1600 three times straight on the SAT. He's British so he went to Cambridge :o</p>

<p>at my school, the most accelerated kids take ap calc bc as juniors, and then discrete math/ap stats as seniors</p>

<p>after calculus you can take multivariable/differential equations. and theres always ap stat if you consider that math. a few years a go some freshman took multi</p>

<p>jcsmooth, I won't lie...I made the Einstein IQ up. I thought it was a good number :D</p>

<p>But the MIT I know because my Physics teachers graduated there and said average IQ there was 130.</p>

<p>That's crazy about your teacher. Amazing to see things like that happen.</p>

<p>Our school actually offers Calc 3 taught by a professor from a local university for a subsidized fee, but I'm sure most people just do concurrent enrollement at their local university.</p>

<p>I really wish that people would stop thinking of things in terms of IQ, which is only one variable in success. But since you brought it up, I would guess that the MIT average is lower than your estimate and your Einstein estimate is about right. But that's just speculation.</p>

<p>Why would he take the SAT if he was British?</p>

<p>my school offers multivariable calc/ linear algebra as semester courses... as well as a new math class my current bc teacher is offering next year : techniques of math or something which basically take the place of linear algebra (an alternative)</p>

<p>jcrew I love your screen name</p>
