<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior interested in being an astronomy major in college but I'm not sure whether it would be the right choice for me as I'm not great at math (I worked fairly hard and got a C+ in my Honors PreCalc class last year). However, I haven't taken a Physics class yet so maybe I might be better at that. Astronomy is something I'm very interested in majoring in, and I'm willing to work very hard and do the math, but I also don't want to struggle for my entire college years. What do you think?</p>
<p>If you only want a BA degree, you will take Calc 1 and 2. Calc 2 is pretty tough. If you want a BS, you also will be taking Calc 3 and Differential Equations. Some people may disagree but if you can do Calc 2, you can do 3 and DiffEq. If you plan on getting a graduate degree, you really need to be good with math.</p>
<p>Thanks. I’m taking Honors Calculus next year so I’ll see how that goes.</p>
