Math Course Selection

<p>Which math course should I take?
My experience: AP calculus BC- scored 5 on AB, scored 4 on BC
SAT I (math section) 800 - The undergraduate announcement uses this score for further placement</p>

<p>I do not plan to major in math, but I plan to major in the engineering department, possibly ORFE. </p>

<p>I have very little knowledge of Taylor/McLaurin Series accounting for my 4 on the BC exam. These topics seem to be covered extensively in MAT 104, but do I need them for 201/203? Do I need them at all?</p>

<p>Should I take 104 to fill my knowledge gap, 201 (Multi-var. calc.) the logical next step, or 203 (advanced multi-var. calc) which the announcement deems I am qualified for?</p>

<p>All opinions are welcome.</p>

<p>I would not waste a semester relearning stuff. I recommend you just do 201/203. You can always go learn Taylor/Mclaurin series on your own if you ever need it. It’s not really complicated anyways.</p>

<p>Word of advice: 203 is really hard. A good portion of the class has already taken multivariable calc, and they still find it extremely challenging.</p>

<p>201 seems reasonable if you’re good at math (which is hard to gauge from high school classes).</p>

<p>I would take 201 unless you really like math.</p>

<p>I’m in 203 right now… not too terribly hard. If you got a 4 on BC, you’re best taking 201 though. Side note: roommate started in 215, dropped to 201. Will probably get A. Take 201.</p>
