<p>Does anyone know what the americans mean when they say 'multivariable calculus'? I mean, what level of difficulty are we talking here?</p>
<p>I think multivariable calculus is the opposite of partial differential calc.</p>
<p>What would IIT maths be considered as?</p>
<p>Calc I, II, III, IV, or a combination of those?</p>
<p>I put in math level as equivalent to calc. AB</p>
<p>What's I,II...?</p>
<p>what is calc AB?</p>
<p>The american school system apparantly has different levels of calculus courses - calc IV is supposedly diff eqns, III is multivar. I wanted to know if their advanced courses (like III, IV) are comparable to our level or just a whole bunch of fancy names like the rest of the country</p>
<p>Its one of the AP levels of calculus..there are two - AB and BC (BC>AB)... I believe IIT is basically a mixture of the two, though it is mainly AB</p>
<p>yay! EnglishLit was good :)</p>
<p>lucky you..that makes one person who's happy :(</p>
<p>im doing baby stuff..Calc AB - just integration, differentiation in dif. forms. BC is more application + a little bit more of concepts. III is multivariable and linear algebra i believe. Comparison wise, BC equates with reg. indian Calc</p>
<p>AB topics cover:</p>
<p>dif., integration, fund. rules of calc, 1st, 2nd derivative tests, trapezoid rule, natural logs in calc (what im doing now). we use TI-83+s, or TI-83+ Silver edition for graphing, taking roots, ++++. its a real neat calculator. what dyu guys use?</p>
<p>hehe for ISC?
We use a casio fx 82 ms. a normal scientific calculator and a complete baby compared to the TI 83+ that I use for standardized tests but very user friendly and helpful and practically indestructable (and I would know. I've dropped it 10^9very very large number) times :p</p>
<p>

<h1>Yes mine went well..... last year :p</h1>
<p>fx-82 is fine but I've seen many use fx-100, fx-991 and other advanced calcs and no one seemed to care in the exam hall (as long as it's not a graphing calc like ti 83 or 89). And by the way, why on earth would you need a ti83 for standardized tests, sucharita? fx-82 ms is just as good.</p>
<p>Also, I think ISC math covers calculus in as much depth as calc BC. I'm not sure about CBSE.</p>

<p>I conveniently forgot to mention that the TI 83 was my backup and the FX 82 was my main calculator :p</p>
<p>frankly for ISC math 82 is all you need...I have a 110 too but don't feel the need to use it. Plus you guys probably used 82 TL but 82 MS is much nicer and looks better too :)</p>
<p>i had set 1. it was ok. ok, incidentally, is today's word of the day. it was ok... it was ok.... it was ok... stop pestering me!</p>
<p>CBSE tends to cover more topics than than Calc BC, Calc BC however goes more into depth for its topics. </p>
<p>anyway it's highly possible IIT math would include some of calc 3 but doesnt include some of calc one or two. You guys shoul dtake the AP exam if you decide to come here if possible.</p>
<p>I use HP 39G becuase it was cheap at that time. lol will have to buy TI series soon though ( youll need it too). </p>
<p>hey callthecops soo true! its like a vacation for us!!</p>
<p>oh yeah you cbse walas have different papers...weird</p>
<p>How do you take APs in India? CollegeBoard's site says "contact your school" :confused:</p>

Haha CBSE papers get leaked... so that's why :D</p>
