<p>How hard is it? I know it probably depends on a lot of stuff (how good you are naturally at math, what professor you get, etc.) but what's the general consensus on 115? I really need to take it but I'm scared because I didn't do well in Calc in HS. I had a terrible teacher, which didn't help, but I might have to reconsider my minor if 115 is notoriously killer. Anyway, anybody with ANY advice or words of wisdom: please speak up on anything you know about Math 115!</p>
<p>math in college is typically harder than high-school level math. Depending on your high-school teacher. In this case, I think you should be fine if you took Calc in High-school because Math 115 is basically Calc 1, which consists of Derivative all the way up to integration.</p>
<p>If you put the time into studying, Math 115 is completely doable. Exams are hard but they’re all curved.</p>
<p>You should be able to pass it if you put the effort in. Whilst GSIs can be a hit or a miss, there are definitely plenty of resources to help you grasp the material well.</p>
<p>As for the curve though, mathematics courses are in general curved pretty hard in comparison to other departments.</p>
<p>I think it depends on what grade you are aiming for; to pass it wouldn’t be too hard but to succeed will definitely be challenging.</p>
