<p>I am trying to decide between math 32 and 103 - I did very well in calculus BC but am worried I've probably forgotten a lot and might struggle in 103. On the other hand, everyone seems to say math 32 sucks, so if I could skip it maybe i should. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>im doing 103.. same situation.. just do it.. i'm sure you wont regret it</p>

<p>Like I've posted before, I had a bad Calc BC teacher, but did well in 103 (or at least my HS equivalent). You probably haven't forgotten as much as you think. :)</p>

<p>i'm hoping to get into 103 but if not i think i'd take 41 over 32...the 41 curriculum seems a lot more like the BC calc one and i guess revising everything wouldn't be such a bad idea.</p>

5

<p>How often is bc material (::cough:: series and sequences) going to come up in 103 and haunt me? I mean, I have absolutely no clue what calc 3 entails and, to be quite honest, i don't feel that confident with a few of the BC concepts. Should I just do 32 or go on and take 103?</p>

<p>Sequences and series never reared their ugly heads in my multivar class. The thing I'd say you should be most comfortable with is integration.</p>

<p>Anyone wanna comment on 103X? I'm taking either 103 or 103X second semester (no math first semester due to FOCUS). Is 103X an impossible class?</p>

<p>I had a similar thread a while ago. Most people seemed to be against Math 103X. I'm taking Math 103 with FOCUS. </p>

<p>yeah the thing is I am pretty strong in math and am really interested by it so I think I might enjoy taking a theoretical version of 103, but I don't want to flunk it cuz if its so hard that the only ppl taking it are math geniuses.</p>

<p>As long as you meet the requirements for 103X (credit for Math 31&32, have a math SAT score between 750 and 800, and be strongly motivated to study abstract mathematics), I think you would be fine. I considered 103X, but decided against a class of geniuses. After all, I only had a 740 Math. :p</p>

<p>lol, anyone know if 103X is offered in Spring, it doesn't seem to be</p>

<p>does anyone have any comments that's actually taken math 103 at duke not at highschool</p>
