how much actual math do you use in accounting?

<p>i'm planning on being an accounting major in college and i was wondering what type of math you actually need to do accounting. i took accounting 1 & 2 in high school and it was pretty much just arithmetic. i'm asking because math is not my strongest subject (algebra/geometry/calculus) so i'm wondering if i'm going to need any of that?</p>

<p>I believe accounting won’t go past the functions of your basic $2.00 calculator, although most colleges will have you take calculus 1 as part of your curriculum. Don’t worry - you probably won’t use calculus.</p>

<p>four functions is all you’ll need to know</p>
