<p>I've complete A Levels (13 years of high school). Our more complicated topics included differential and parametric equations, vectors, advanced binomial expansion, natural logs, geometric progressions, Integration by parts and substitution. </p>
<p>I can place out of Maths 1106 and 1110 assuming I got at least a C at A Level (which I'm pretty sure I've exceeded). I intend on majoring in Econ. So would you recommend I go straight to Cacl II (or Honors Calc II) or will that be too much for my first semester? Should I place out and take it in my second semester? Or just start with Calc I? </p>
<p>Also, off topic, but I've been accepted into the college of arts and science and would like to keep my engineering options open if possible. Is it possible to take courses in the engineering school at some point in the year?</p>
<p>You can take Engineering courses, but they won’t count for Arts credit. You are allowed up to 20 non-CAS credits to graduate. </p>
<p>It sounds like you’ve covered material into Calc II so that’s probably where you want to start. For Econ, you don’t need anything beyond Calc I and I think Calc II will open up the full spectrum of Econ courses at the undergraduate level. Assuming you like math, you’ll probably want to go through at least Calc III and linear algebra, even further if you want to do graduate Economics.</p>
<p>From what I saw from a friend’s cirriculum and homework, A&S calc track is different from the engineering calc track. A&S’s calc 1 is somewhat pre-calc and everything covered in it is considered background knowledge in engineering’s calc 1. From the topics you’ve listed, you should be more than well prepared for A&S calc 1. </p>
<p>Since you seem to be considering engineering, I would suggest skipping A&S calc 1. On that note, I’m not sure if your A&S calc class would transfer to the college of engineering so you might be safest taking Math 1910 (engineering calc 1)</p>
<p>Also, if you wish to complete your degree in four years, the latest you should be applying for a transfer is DURING your second semester. I’m not familiar with the A&S course selection but I think you should have some space in your first semester to try an engineering class or two. I recommend crossreferencing your requirements with the engineering requirements (you’d have to be specific with a major though). </p>
<p>Once you get your first semester on your way, get in touch with both the A&S and Engineering registrar offices for advice. They are pretty helpful in helping you figure out courses/transfer process.</p>
