<p>Which class should I take considering that I think I might receive a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Calculus AB test I took in May?</p>
<p>Should I take Math 1A or Math 1B?</p>
<p>I'm also planning to take American Studies 10 and College Writing R1A.<br>
Also, this will be my first semester of college.</p>
<p>I am in the same boat as you and I'm moving on to Math 1B because I don't want to waste units repeating material.</p>
<p>If you're not definitely sure you'll get a 5, you should take math 1a so you can have a better foundation, besides if it turns out easy then it'll just be a gpa booster.</p>
<p>Math 1B is supposed to be more difficult but you don't really use material from Math 1A- from what I remember, we only did integrals, series, random topics (complex numbers) and second order differential equations. All you really need to be able to do is integrals from AB such as substitution. </p>
<p>Math 1A was a bit more difficult for me because we covered some things that AB did not (hyperbolic functions, delta-epsilon proofs) and went more in depth in proofs.</p>
<p>However, difficulty in class depends on the professor mostly.</p>
<p>Well, I didn't really like proofs when I took Geometry.</p>
<p>Should I just take Math 1B instead, or is it definitely more difficult? Are the proofs in Math 1A too in depth?</p>
<p>The proofs are slightly different. My friend's professor required them to know the proof of the Taylor series which is difficult (math 1b) but mine did not. My math 1a professor required us to do induction and delta-epsilon proofs which i found difficult. It is really up to you on how well you know your math and how the professors are. Math 1B is generally considered more difficult and they usually do not recommend you to skip 1A if you did not do well or feel confident about your calculus in high school.</p>
<p>The proofs in 1A aren't that in depth.</p>
<p>hm I did pretty well in my class I had A's the whole year
and I think I got a 4 on my AB test</p>
<p>1A or 1B?</p>
<p>Actually, I had Bs most of the year until we started reviewing for the AP test. During the review sessions, I had one of the highest grades in the class because I did well on the mock AP tests I took in class.</p>
<p>hey harvard
have you come to a decision on 1A or 1B yet?
I gotta make it soon
my CalSo is tomorrow..</p>
