<p>What's the difference between Calculus 1,2,3 and Single Var./Multi. Var. Calculus? & where does Calculus A/B and B/C belong to? D:</p>

<p>Alsooooooooooooo,
does anyone know the order of all the math courses from easy to hard?</p>

2

<p>Calc 1 = AP Calculus AB
Calc 1 + 2 = AP Calculus BC, but speeds through Calc 1
Calc 3 = Multivariable Calculus</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s pretty subjective.
Each math class builds on what came before it (in the calculus sequence, anyway), but that doesn’t necessarily mean the higher-level class is harder.</p>

<p>TheKongo is correct. The biggest jump is between Calc II and calc III, where you start learning partial derivatives and multivariate integration. You will probably have to take a linear algebra and/or differential equations (after calc II) class before then. </p>

<p>Calc III is by definition harder than Calc I or II because you have to use the concepts you learned in those classes and apply them to functions with more than one variable. For instance, you may be asked to find the partial derivative of f(x,y)=2x+y with respect to y, which is 2, because you treat y like a constant. Of course, this will not make any sense unless you have learned calc I stuff.</p>

<p>Where does the single variable Calculus go? Is that equivalent to Calculus A/B and B/C?</p>

6

<p>Yeah AP Calculus AB and BC only covers SINGLE variable. You will never see partial derivatives/triple integrals on the AP test XD.</p>
