College Math

<p>How does taking Statistics, Calculus, and Finitie compare to the high school level?</p>

<p>I've taken college calculus and I'd say it's about the same level as AP Calc in high school. The tests are tough but do-able, and the college class was a lot less homework turned in, just optional stuff.</p>

<p>You're going to Washington University in St. Louis, I'm guessing by your Location? It'll definitely be harder than high school, at least if you don't take the 'dummy track.' The easiest math track at college will be easier than the hardest math courses in high school. However, things will generally be much harder.</p>

<p>my calculus class in high school rite now is very hard, extremely hard -,- n the teacher is known for giving hard questions n then curving it. i can't imagine how hard college math would be cuz this is already way too hard.</p>

<p>My caclulus in college was easier than calc in high school</p>

<p>Ditto fendergirl.</p>

<p>I just finished an engineering statistics class that was pretty easy. The prof focused on practical engineering applications and we did by-hand work and projects with Minitab every week. We didn't focus on much of the mathematical theory, but rather how various statistical distributions applied to engineering problems.</p>

<p>I've just taken an ECO stat course, and it was pretty damn easy, too! But the MAT stat course isn't easy at all! So it really depends on whether you are consciously selected easy courses, or the courses future math majors will take.</p>

<p>For what it's worth, Calculus for math majors at my school is in many ways easier than non-major Calculus. The grading policy is what does it. You learn most everything in both, but the math-for-majors series goes through things the not-for-majors class does. The math-for-majors class also gives 100% on all quizzes (they're online, tell you what's wrong, and you can resubmit them until everything is right), plus allows you to drop a grade.</p>
