I completed AP Calculus AB with an A during my junior year of high school and oh my lord how I love calculus. I’ll be taking BC in senior year. This summer, I’m planning on taking a math course at a local community college. There are three types of “Calculus” listed:
MATH 005A - SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS I
-Limits and continuity; differentiation and integration of algebraic functions; applications.
MATH 005B - SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS II
-Differentiation and integration of trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, hyperbolic functions, polar, and parametric equations; applications and techniques of integration; indeterminate forms and infinite sequences and series.
MATH 005C - MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS
-Parametric equations, polar coordinates, vectors and vector calculus, partial differentiation, multiple integration, Green’s theorem, divergence theorem of Gauss, Stokes’ theorem.
To me, Math 5A and a bit of 5B cover topics of Cal AB.
Should I take Calculus II or Multivariable Calculus? Also, there are also Math 7A/B-Math Analysis and Math 010-Linear Algrebra. However, which class should I take that will benefit my resource/knowlegde/(prepare me for Calculus in college, since I’m planning on pursuing engineering)? Sorry for the change in topic, but I really want to stand out for college apps to let them see that I’m capable of handling a challenge. Please give me a reality check on this kind of thought because to be super honest, I feel kind of “inferior” to those students with extensive extracurricular activities and high GPA. (Most people I know say good grades mean you get to go to a good school) Plus, is taking a Cal class during the summer (for 6 weeks) a wise decision? Please don’t mind my ranting. Thank you in advance.
