<p>Question directed towards math/physical science majors, premeds, or anyone with experience:</p>

<p>I am an incoming student and planning on enrolling in Math 2130 (calc 3) the spring semester of my freshman year. I am in CAS and recieved a 5 on the BC exam so I would be placing out of calc 1+2. How rigorous/time consuming would you consider that class? Because I would also be taking 4 other classes and two labs that semester (in bio and chem) would it be wise to add on that math class? In other words, would it be a better idea to take that class perhaps sophomore year or consider other multivariable courses (such as 1920)?</p>

<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!</p>

<p>I would not take 1920 unless you are doing Comp Sci. It has more of an emphasis with engineering principles and generally only engineering majors or those who are very motivated take it as it is very rigorous.</p>
