<p>It's not bad. I just don't think it's needed. But you will prolly be alright b/c I hear the MATH 230 lect/disc is a good guy. But if you don't like his teaching methods you might be stuck. I don't know. It's not set in stone until you officially sign up. Visit the merit math lady when you're there (I'll check her email/name and message it to you). Just ask her about it. I never took it but the merit math doesn't seem to be as useful as the other programs. B/c you're not going to have longer problems in math that will help you as much as solving basic ones (you know what I mean?).</p>
<p>Anyways it's not bad but it isn't for everyone so that is why I don't recommend it as much.</p>
