take Calculus 2 over summer and take calc 3 in fall

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I have been accepted into UC Berkeley for mathematics. I am not sure if I really want to do math and I am thinking about transferring into an engineering major that only requires multi-variable calculus and Linear Algebra.</p>

<p>My friends told me that for next semester, Calc 3 professors are generally better and easier lecturers than Calc 2 professors. Many have told me that Calc 3 is easier than Calc 2 since not much materials are actually based on Calc 2. I have a strong urge to take Calc 2 over the summer (72-90 hours in 30 instructional days, depending on which CC) so I can jump into Calc 3 for my 1st semester and be done with math by my freshmen year. I think it might be easier for me to obtain an A at a community college than at Cal. I am willing to work very hard but I am also doubting myself. </p>

<p>Please provide me with some insight. Thank you.</p>

<p>I think you should ask this over on the UC Berkeley thread, found here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/&lt;/a&gt;
You will get a more informed response there. Good luck to you!</p>
