<p>From looking at various different sources, I've gotten the general idea that Math 104 is an unnecessarily difficult class and that I should avoid taking it if possible. I have a 5 on Calc BC , and I WOULD just skip the class, but I also took the online math placement test, and missed several questions, which I think were probably series questions. And, looking at the syllabus of Math 104 online, much of the course is about series. </p>
<p>My main question is though, how much is the stuff you learn in Math 104 really used in the rest of the Wharton classes? I want to eventually take several finance/management classes, and much of the prerequisites for those don't go beyond Math 104 and the 2 Stat classes. Would I struggle a lot in my other classes if I skipped Math 104?</p>
<p>On slightly different note, how necessary will it be to take math classes beyond 104?</p>
