<p>intro to econ
english 1A or 1B (I think i passed the writing test)
calc 53
some other class that satisfies the breadth course list that is fairly easy (what classes would u advise?)</p>
<p>also do ap credits count towards fulfilling breadth requirements?</p>
<p>hey. same future plans...</p>
<p>calso advisors said not to take econ 1 first semester...</p>
<p>you seem to be awesome at math (if your taking the math 53 course), maybe take 16a for a more carefree first semester??</p>
<p>or not take math at all since you'll pass out of the requirement with your AP score and take some cool courses that interest you. </p>
<p>calso advisors said to either take 1a/b or 16a/b if your not moving onto a field in mathematics or another major which requires math 53.</p>
<p>good luck either way!</p>
<p>okay thanks, yeah i guess taking math 53 wouldnt be the best thing since im not going into math. what classes are u taking?</p>
<p>math 16 a
r 44- western civilizations= fulfills one half of the r and c requirement
astro 10= fulfills a haas breadth
fresh seminar on time, love, and money in a technological society</p>
<p>no offense to calso advisers, but they think all incoming freshman are stupid or something; they highly underestimate their abilities</p>
<p>I'd recommend taking Econ 1, R1a or r1b, NOT math 53, but some other math course, and an easy class, maybe NS 10 for breadth?</p>
<p>what is NS 10?</p>
<p>Why would you not recommend taking
math 53 as a freshman?</p>
<p>because math 53 is not required for haas, you can take 16a, a much easier course.</p>
<p>take math 16a not math 53</p>
<p>I'm not pre-Business, but I am taking Math 53 in the fall. Has anyone taken Math 53? Is it do-able for an incomming freshman? I've heard Math at Cal is especially difficult.</p>
<p>i think it might be a bit much. Are you good at math???? If you are I would start at Math 1b</p>
<p>whats the difference between 1 and 16 and if i got a 5 on calc bc ap then which would be beneficial?</p>
<p>Math 1A,1B53,54 is filled with engineers, sciences, and math majors.</p>
<p>Math 16 is for those not in the above.</p>
<p>so for me wanting to go into business, 1B would be advisable?</p>
<p>16 is really basic calc, maybe an easier version of calc AB in high school, i would say 1B is equivalent to calc BC, with a few more concepts tacked on at the end.</p>
<p>if you wanted a grade booster, look no further than 16a.</p>
<p>If you want to learn more calculus, go ahead and take Math1B.</p>
<p>Unless it's required, there's no point in taking the harder math series, you'll just end up with a lower grade.</p>
<p>i'm doing pre-haas, AND i'm taking Math 53 + chem 3a</p>
<p>well, that's because I'm in CoE - BioE as well... haha</p>
<p>Hm I think you will probably drop one of those majors. Seriously, it's practically impossible to be Haas, CoE, and BioE as well. Only one person I know --third person--is a triple. Sigh, freshman.</p>
<p>But yeah, if u got a 5 on the BC, take Math 1B for good foundation. Then again, Math 1b, some say, is more difficult than 53. Although 53 is more complicated, math 1b has the highest flunk-out rate.</p>
<p>Math 53 is just an extension of Math 1B.</p>
<p>Math 53 feels easier since it's what you've been doing for an entire semester, just iterated.</p>
<p>It's a double major - Bioengineering (which is in the college of engineering) and Business.</p>
<p>I know several people who are in Haas and CoE, (EECS + business even), and i know it will be difficult and time consuming, but I still have about a year or so to decide whether or not I really want to do it. I have even considered staying a 5th year (applying to Haas junior year) if it proves to be easier on my workload</p>
