<p>most business programs i've seen only require business majors to finish calc I and calc II</p>

<p>ibanking analyst wouldn't use any complex math, no real calculus or anything like that.</p>

<p>I think in finance math is a easy part, your personality and other things are more challanging than that</p>

<p>No. If you looked, that's math for Operations Research.</p>

<p>Is most of the math in finance calculus based? I'm taking AP Calculus at my high school, and I don't like it at all. Is finance probably a major I would not enjoy?</p>
