<p>1) I am moving to a new house soon and i was wondering if i change my address on SIO will all the college deparments receive the change and how long will it be till it takes effect? btw im a freshman so i think i have information yet to be sent out?</p>
<p>2) I tried to throw my calc placement exam to get into calc 2 because my ap credit can get me into calc 3-D but i dont want to go there. i would have taken AB but my school is lazy. so is there anyway to make sure i get into calc 2?</p>
<p>1) Don't know, I'd like the answer to that, too, since my parents are moving.</p>
<p>2) Just email your advisor and tell him/her you want to be in calc 2.</p>
<p>(2) I highly recommend taking Calc in 3D. You don't need a super-strong calculus background for this course. It's just integrating with an extra variable. And, most importantly, J. Schaeffer is teaching it in the fall - the professor you want for this course.</p>
<p>What is your major? If you're computer science, calculus really doesn't matter. If you're engineering, it does.</p>
<p>Even in engineering most of the techniques used in the Calc 2 course are never used again. If you have a general understanding of the Calc 2 course you will be fine in future engineering courses.</p>
<p>Worst case scenario: you have page through some old stuff if you forget.</p>
<p>If you only took AP Calc AB then you should be in Calc 2.</p>

i would have taken AB...

</p>
<p>^^ he didnt take it</p>
<p>well im actually contemplating between chemistry and chemical engineering. the thing with the ap exam was i wanted to go down to AB when i decided on carnegie mellon, but as i said my school is lazy. What exactly is a general undersstanding of calc 2 and is the spring teacher bad or does he/she just not compare?</p>
<p>Who's teaching it?</p>
<p>umm i dont know how to get that information. i dont know how you got that professor's name.</p>
<p>I'll find it, but here's how. </p>
<p>-Go to <a href="http://www.cmu.edu/hub/%5B/url%5D">http://www.cmu.edu/hub/</a>
-Go to the bottom and click "Schedule of Classes"
-Click "Search by Department"
-Make sure Semester/Year is on Fall 2006
-Go to "Mathematical Sciences"
-Scroll to "Integration, Differential Equations, and Approximation "</p>
<p>It looks like Handron is teaching it next semester. He's a great professor. You can click on his name for student-ratings. You won't know who's teaching it in the Spring until the Spring schedule is up (usually mid-Fall Semester)</p>
<p>hope that helps</p>
