<p>Hi, so I am a planned L&S computer science major, and I want to know if my schedule for completing the major prereqs is too brutal:</p>

<p>fall 09 - CS 3L, math 1a
spring 10 - CS 61A, math 1b
fall 10- CS 61B, math 53, EE 42 & 43
spring 11- cs 61c, math 54, CS 70</p>

<p>most of the counselors at my calso told me to take math 1a first, but i can skip it since i got a 4 on ap calc bc...and they also said to take 53 before jumping straight into 54. what do you guys think? should i just take math 1b my first fall semester and then math 54 in the spring so i can have an easier sophomore year or should i just continue with this current plan?</p>

<p>Math 53 and 54 are independent courses. They are not built upon each other</p>

<p>Also, Math 53 is not required for CS. If you are interested in it, you should consider taking it anyways, but it is not necessary for CS.

<p>Looks good, but I suggest skipping Math 1A. Difficulty wise, everything seems right.</p>

<p>Why would you suggest skipping math 1a? Just wondering.</p>
