Is Calculus 3b the same as Calculus 3

<p>I was planning on transferring to another school's program that requires calc 3b, but I took calc 3 (not b). Would it transfer and fulfill that requirement or would I need to take calc 3b at that school ? Is there a difference between the two ? Thanks</p>

<p>Check if the target school has an articulation agreement with your current school that shows you what transfers as what. If not, compare the course descriptions and/or ask the target school’s departments of math and your major.</p>

<p>Since you did not name the two schools, courses, or major, no one else can really give you much more help.</p>

<p>The school im currently at is William Paterson University and the one I wanted to transfer in was New Jersey Institutde of Technology</p>

<p>Your calculus 3 course appears to be the closest course to calc 3B that your school offers. They both require the second semester of calculus (integrals and series as a pre-req). I’d recommend you email a mathematics faculty advisor at NJIT or an undergraduate admissions advisor (whatever they have) with your question. Make sure that you copy paste the course description and attach a syllabus of your course in the email.</p>
