math 1b/math 53

<p>i know this question has probably been asked before but i just found out that i got a 5 on the calc bc test. however, i don't really remember the end of the subject which includes things such as convergence, divergence, taylor's series, and on...</p>

<p>i took calc ab and bc and got a 5 on both. </p>

<p>should i just go directly into math 53?
how much of the series stuff is actually used or covered during math 53 and what should i review over the summer?</p>

<p>I just answered this question a few pages back:
“Just take Math 53. You don’t really need to study for it over the summer - you’ll just be using basic techniques from Math 1A and Math 1B like basic differentiation and integration. So if you’ve forgotten the chain rule or how to integrate by substitution or by parts, it would be helpful to review that over the summer. You’ll also be using partial differentiation in Math 53 and doing some conic section stuff, so if you learned that in high school, it may be helpful to go over that too. We also covered epsilon-delta proofs in 53 for about all of five minutes and never got tested on those…”</p>

<p>Don’t worry, series are not used at all in 53.</p>
