How Important is Four Years of Math?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a Senior currently and I've always been ahead in math. I took Algebra 2 as a Freshman, PreCalc over the summer, and AP Calculus BC as a Sophomore. My Junior Year I did Calc 3 and Elementary Linear Algebra at the local CC. But this year there wasn't an In-Person class that fit my schedule so I signed up for Online DiffyQ. It's one week into the class and I have no idea what's going on. The class isn't organized at all as to where things can be learned and what problems to do and the book is a horrible tool for learning! I've always believed I should take math every year of High School but I'm pretty sure I want to drop this class. I mean, I don't even want to do anything math/ science related, I want to major in Econ/ PolySci.</p>

<p>So really, for my situation, how important is it to take four years of math?</p>

<p>Four years of math means four credits of high school math, not that you have to take a math class every year. You probably have a lot more than four high school math credits at this point. If you made it to calculus before your senior year, it’s not necessary to take a math class in your senior year. </p>

<p>Yeah, I have six credits of math that will be on my Transcript from 7th, 8th, 9th, Summer 2012, 10th, 11th.</p>

<p>You don’t need four years of math in your case, but if you do still want to take math, does your school offer AP stats or even a regular stats class? </p>
