<p>Is business Calculus harder than regular calculus? I've taken regular calculus and got a B in the class, never really struggled. How is business calculus different and is it any harder than regular calculus?</p>
<p>Business calculus typically leaves out all of the trig functions, and it’s a lot more applied, where regular calculus utilizes a lot of more of the intuitive and theoretical nature of calculus.</p>
<p>I don’t know that I’d say business calc is “harder” necessarily, but it certainly isn’t easy. A lot of students struggle with it because it is a lot more condensed. Business calc utilizes different concepts that are drawn from all three semesters of a regular calc sequence, and lumps them all into a single semester. There’s obviously a lot of material from a regular calc sequence that isn’t included in a business calc sequence though.</p>
<p>Presumably business calculus will largely focus on… business related concepts, I’d expect emphasis on optimization (translates to minimizing costs), and other manufacturing related math.</p>
<p>I’ve seen “business calculus” classes that didn’t cover integration.</p>
<p>I think it is supposed to be a watered down version.</p>
<p>It’ll be a calculus class tht focuses on business concepts and situations. </p>
<p>Business Calcululs. Engineering Calculus. Life Science Calculus. They all focus on their area.</p>
<p>Usually, calculus for business majors is less rigorous than calculus for math, physics, or engineering majors. Business major degree programs usually accept calculus for math, physics, or engineering majors, but math, physics, or engineering major degree programs usually do not accept calculus for business majors.</p>
