<p>Im goign to be an economics or business or poli sci major ><em>> dunno yet but im probably not going to go premed or engineering in college. So is there any reason for me to take the 1A-B series over the 16A-B series? I took the calc BC exam and I think I got a 4-5 on it but I heard 1B was really hard. But the 1A-B series seem more popular ></em>>;</p>
<p>1) Your handle is HILARIOUS</p>
<p>2) Go with 16 series. 1A/B is only there to screw you over if you don't need them.</p>
<p>what handle? o_o?</p>
<p>"unshunreshun." your handle.</p>
<p>o yeah hehe 8D its from the office</p>
<p>.....i know....</p>
<p>Is the Math 16 series that much less difficult than the Math 1 series? I'm a prospective business major, so the recommended Calculus course is Math 16A/B, but I'm also interested in Computer Science so the Math 1 series is recommended for that. Am I doing the right thing in choosing to take Math 1A?</p>
<p>Math1A is easy. Math1B will own you (for the most part; you might get lucky with a prof).</p>
<p>So Math 1A's not as bad as people say it is?</p>
<p>For the most part, yes. Math1B is the real killer.</p>
<p>Do some people take Math 1A and then 16B? Would that still count as 1 year of math even though it's not the same series?</p>
<p>Math 16A and B are normally 3 units; if you take Math1A and then take 16B, you'll only get 2 units for 16B.</p>
