<p>How difficult is MATH-126 at USC? Regarding the class in general and tests/quizzes if applicable.</p>
<p>How does it compare to EE-241 and MATH-225?</p>
<p>Some people have said it’s a weeder class. In other words, it’s pretty hard.</p>
<p>Yes, MATH 126 is the most difficult of the calculus classes, 125 being the easiest, 226 next and then 126. </p>
<p>You will cover part of chapter 5 (I believe) though the end of chapter 9 in Essential Calculus by Stewart which is most of the AP Calculus BC topics + some others and more in depth as the AP test is fairly predictable and watered down. Exams will be a few questions of free response without the use of a calculator and you will have assigned homework and a quiz nearly every week (that you don’t have an exam).</p>
