Hi guys! I am wondering what the relative difficulty of the following math classes is: Multivariable, Vector Calc, Linear Algebra, and Prob&Stats for Econometrics. I took AP Calc BC during my junior year of high school and got a 5 on the exam, but I have since forgotten lots of the skills such as the more advanced integration techniques and diffy q’s. My second question then is do you think I should retake Calc 1 and Calc 2 during my freshman year of college before I take math classes mentioned above? Obviously I’d prefer not to do this because it would set me back. Any input, advice, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Linear Algebra and Prob/Stat should be very easy if you’ve made it through BC. Multivariable and Vector will likely be more challenging - you should certainly review before. If you feel like you must, I would say only take Calc 2 again before those, but I think review should be sufficient.
@PengsPhils Thanks for the information! Anyone else??
Try the old final exams for the college’s calculus 1 and 2 courses to check your knowledge. Then you can tell if you know the material well, need to review a few things, or need to retake the entire course(s).
