<p>Are college math courses much more difficult than high school courses such as AP Calculus, especially if you had already taken a year of calculus in high school.</p>

<p>Math just sucks, yeah its harder and it moves alot faster</p>
<p>Where do you attend school, Vinny.</p>

<p>Vinny goes to a big bright school</p>

<p>New York institute of technology, all they stress is math</p>
<p>In HS you learn 1 subject a day max maybe 2. In a 2 hr class we are learning 4-6. and they push and push</p>
<p>I mean NYIT isint a good school at all, it is a lesser known school which is trying to push its way into top 100, i think its 104 nationally now, not to sure thogh or it was in 2003. Its a good school very small classes 8:1 ratio. I ahve yet to meet professor who is not a Dr. in there subject except math. Soi overall its a good school which is always updating which is awsome. They put new computers in almost ever semester and our copies are free in libray, so we copy text books</p>
<p>I say math is harder in college then HS</p>
<p>I think the Math Department Chair put it best when he said that college math moves faster and more in depth than high school math.</p>
<p>oh for sure, in depth is a understatement</p>
<p>AP Calc is easy... I've never seen a Calc class easier than AP Calc.. and I mean that. My roommate is a college Math major, plans to go to a big university to get her masters in math.. and the classes she takes make Calc look like a piece of cake. I personally thought that high school calc was easy as well.</p>
<p>math courses after calculus become more abstract, less computation-driven. Some people think that is easier, some think it's harder.</p>
<p>For example... Calc 3 is harder than Calc 1 and Calc 2.. so unless your AP Calc covers Calc 3, it's going to be harder.</p>
<p>It's all an opinion. My high school math teacher had to take Algebra three times before he could finally get a passing grade. However, when he got into college he was able to master Differential Equations and never got anything less than an A in a college math class.</p>
