<p>i am a transfer student who will study math and econ up at cal. i am currently signed up for math 104 and 110 for this fall semester. i will more likely to drop one of them. i am curious if i will have much difficulty with taking math 104. i really want to take math 104 this fall so i can study measure theory in math 105 the spring semester. i am from a small liberal arts college. i have taken one course in proof writing.</p>
<p>It’s hard to tell. Look through the textbook, see how tough the material looks. And don’t forget that the drop deadline is <em>far</em> away. You could probably take the first midterm and decide whether to stick with Math 104 based on that.</p>
<p>thank you christopher. but do you think that taking math 110 and then math 104 is probably the better route as many people do?</p>
<p>It’s recommended, but I’ve seen plenty of people go with 104 as their first upper div and survive.</p>
<p>UpMagic, your, mathbody’s, and jetforec’s posts i have been waiting for. could you say if i can do both at the same time? right now my schedule looks like:
math 110
math 104
stat 134
econ 101a
would you say this is doable?</p>

<p>ull die dude. iv taken the latter 2 classes alrdy. its not exactly the load u want coming outta community college</p>
<p>I have taken every single one of those classes. The average student would not be able to handle all of them in one semester. A brilliant student would be able to. What do you know about yourself?</p>
<p>dunleavy, i am not from a CC. I am from a private college.
Christopher, What if I drop math 110. Will it be a moderately doable schedule?</p>
<p>my first semester i took math 110, stat 134, and econ 101a. My second semester i took math 113, math 104, econ 136, and econ 100b. My GPA in my second semester was much higher and i got A’s in both math 104 and math 113. This was mainly because it took me some time to get used to how upper division math courses work. I suggest you taking it slow in your first semester to make sure you don’t screw up and end up getting rejected from the econ major. </p>
<p>I would recommend starting with 110 before 104. I think its much easier to bridge the gap between lower division linear algebra and upper division algebra than it is to start with analysis.Also, a lot of people seem to underestimate stat 134. I thought it was really easy and got an A on the first midterm but the 2nd half the course was much more difficult.</p>
<p>Santacanyon - usually the level of familiarity with communicating math assumed in 104 will be greater. That’s the main variable.</p>
<p>Perhaps try 3 of those classes instead of 4, because all of them together promises to be uncomfortable, and probably won’t buy you much.</p>
<p>thank you all of you. i will seriously consider dropping math 104 this fall. </p>
<p>jetforce, you have done pretty much what i plan to do. could you share your experience/tip on math 110, econ 101a, and stat 134?
mathboy, are you taking math 202 this semester?</p>
