<p>hi everybody;</p>
<p>i need a little help. in my school, incoming freshman have the option of taking either Calc I or Intro to Math Analysis. One of my best friends attends the university as well, and she told me not to take Calc b/c its extremely difficult, and to take the Math Analysis class. However, isn't taking a year of Calc a requirement for most med schools? I have no idea what to do, so any advice you guys can give me would be great. thanks</p>
<p>Tell me about this Math Analysis class. Is it higher level than calc, as the term "Analysis" is often meant? Or is it lower or not related to calc?</p>
<p>Higher levels are always okay; unrelated classes probably will not substitute. Again, remember that many med schools don't require math at all, but some do.</p>
<p>it's actually less advanced than calc, and it covers trig, algebra II, and some of pre-calc.</p>
<p>Yeah, you need to take calc for the med schools in question. Or one semester of calc and one of stats, which you should really take anyway.</p>
<p>With that said, if you ALSO want to take math analysis for an A on your BCPM, that's not the worst idea in the world - but it does slow you down, and frankly it's wimpy.</p>
<p>Sometimes a calc course may be hard but its curved nicely to get you the good grades.</p>
