<p>I know there has been a lot of talk about the math classes but here's some more questions. Is math 114 as horribly curved as I hear math 104 is? Is it useful for either Finance, Accounting or some other Wharton concentrations? Any other comments would be helpful. Thanks</p>
<p>It is curved pretty much the same. A lot of Wharton people take 115 or just stop at 104.</p>
<p>whats the difference between 114 or 115?</p>
<p>Wharton students aren’t allowed to take 115.</p>
<p>engineers generally aren’t allowed to take 114 either</p>
<p>^You mean 115</p>
<p>I actually don’t know anyone who takes 115. I heard it’s like a dead end (in terms of fulfilling prerequisites for higher level math/engineering classes)</p>
<p>oh whoops, yeah engineers can’t do 115</p>
<p>the only person i know who did 115 was predental, heh</p>
<p>why arent we allowed to take 115 if we are engineers?</p>
<p>because it doesn’t prepare you as well as 114 for upper-level calculus that you’ll need to take for engineering (math 240, 241, and beyond)</p>
<p>like the econ department says: </p>
<p>“Moreover, Mathematics 114 is the gateway course for the upper-level mathematics courses, while taking Mathematics 115 complicates further study of mathematics.”</p>

<p>or, for the simple reason that our curriculum worksheets specify 114, not 115 =p
in the same way, engineers taking physics must take 140/141 (150/151), not 101/102</p>
