<p>I'm a ecnomic major, and many schools I plan to transfer require ANALYTIC GEOMETRY AND CALCULUS I,II,and III. The problem is that I have only two semesters left before transfer, I won't be able to finish all of them. So I'm thinking to talk to the admision office in my school and let me take either Calculus I and II at the same semester or take Calculus II and III at the same time in next spring. And I'm confident in math, so is this possible or which two should I take at the same time to be better? Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>At my school the course title was “Calculus with analytic geometry”, so it was just one course.</p>
<p>Most schools only require I and II to be completed before the transfer</p>
<p>I am an economics major too, and I have yet to see any of the UCs “require” Calc III. I know it is a major prep for UCSD, however it is not required prior to transfer.</p>
<p>All the schools recommend III and Linear Algebra if you want to do graduate work but none of them require it except UCSD. Just take III and Linear Algebra over next summer if you have to.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend taking any of them at the same time. Most schools allow you to take a class the summer before transfer to complete your major prereqs, they only want IGETC finished by spring. So what you SHOULD do is take Calc1 this fall, calc2 next spring, then calc3 next summer. When you fill out your application in November they’ll ask for the classes you plan to take next spring and summer.
If you MUST take two at the same time, take Calc2 and 3. You won’t have the slightest clue about calc2 if you’re taking it at the same time as calc1. They won’t teach you integration until a month into the semester for calc1, but you’ll start working with some fairly difficult integration problems right away in calc2.</p>
<p>Agree with Bmop. Calculus II builds on what you’ve learned in Calculus I. Unless you’ve previously taken courses in both, you probably won’t be allowed to take both courses in the same semester.</p>
<p>Take them in order. Cal III requires advanced integration techniques learned in cal 2. I would take only cal 1 + 2 and transfer. The only UC’s that require more than 2 is UCSD and UCI. For you UCI, don’t bother just take math 4 instead when you get there. But if you decide on UCSD just take the last course over the summer at UCSD if you want to.</p>
<p>UCSD won’t reject you for not doing Calc III, you can relax.</p>
<p>Hehe,Thanks a lot guys. Your advises are really helpful!~</p>
