<p>Anyone know anything about this course? I've ALWAYS been weak in math courses (I'm taking Precalc as a Sr. in HS btw), so I'm kinda freaked out that I'll take this course in college, and be totally lost. Ok, I'm not horrible at math...but I'm not confident in my abilities. Is this course supposed to be very hard? I'm assuming no, but just wanted to hear some opinions.</p>
<p>Yeah, you're probably wondering why a potential business student is bad at math, but I'm more interested in Marketing for undergrad, and then law school.</p>
<p>I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I had problems related to economics in my calc class. These problems are pretty simple in comparison to other calc problems. They are either derivatives or integration problems or differential equations (the simple kind). I'm guessing that's what you would learn in this class. So i guess take a calc class and get a feel for it. I would think it would be much easier than a regular calc class, but maybe i'm wrong.</p>
<p>In Business Calculus you learn the very basics of differential and integral calculus (both single-variable and multvariable) and apply them to problems specific to economics and business without much regard to theoretical derivations and whatnot. Don't worry. You're not gonna get thrown Stokes' Theorem or anything like that on the first day. ;-)</p>
<p>My guess is as on the area of econ and business the math you really need to worry about is econometrics; I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it sounds hard.</p>
