<p>Could anyone tell me what some easy math and science credits would be? I'm definitely an English, social science, language sort of girl, and I want to make my distribution requirements as painless as possible. Thanks!</p>
<p>Math 9 - Math of Social Choice
Math 5 - Intro to Calc.</p>
<p>The former is so hard to get into, y ou'll probably only be able to do it when you're a senior.</p>
<p>Astronomy.</p>
<p>Bio 7 - Environmental Bio (fall)
Bio 10 - Plants and Humanity (spring)
Physics for Humanists
Intro to Geology
Intro to Oceanography</p>
<p>some Anthro courses satisfy sciences...i think there's a Sociology course that does too.</p>
<p>Math, there's also History of Math I believe. And Logic (taught by the Philosophy department), but I hear Logic is difficult.</p>
<p>I actually heard that Plants and Humanity was a tough course taught by Ellmore.</p>
<p>well, it's tough in that there's no textbook, so you HAVE to take really good notes. Meaning, you HAVE to attend lecture. That's where it's hard - people find it difficult to go to a class at 9 30 three times a week when they don't take it seriously. Trust me, I did that a lot - waking up at 9 15 in South Hall and reasoning that it didn't make sense to go at this point. Well, I was wrong. But yeah, you can do well as long as you go to every lecture and take notes on everything.</p>
<p>How is statistics? I think it's econ 13. Easier or worse than Intro to calc?</p>
<p>It depends how your mind works, but Math 5 (Intro to Calc) is ridiculously easy for most everyone. Stats is hard for about 50% of people, and those 50% are usually those who aren't "math people".</p>
<p>You can also take Stat with the Math dept in the Spring and Civil Engineering teaches Probability/Statistics, and they all count for the same credit. (At least for the Econ major.)</p>
