<p>My questions exactly what it is?
Is it possible? I'm currently a junior in HS right now and I want to take them both at the same time over the summer at a CC. In my not so aspiring school, this is the only way I can keep up with rest of the competition. I also plan on self teaching myself AP physics next year.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any feedback :)</p>
<p>That’s not really possible. Calculus 2 builds directly on the material in Calculus 1 and you can’t really do them concurrently, particularly the first time you see the material.</p>
<p>Isn’t Cal1 a prereq for Cal2 anyways?</p>
<p>Typically, Calc I is limits, derivatives, and basic integrals. Each of these topics builds on the other. Typically, Calc II begins with advanced integrals.</p>
<p>So, at the beginning of the session, you’d be looking at limits and advanced integrals at the same time-- not possible, unless you already know all of Calc I and need the credit in name only.</p>
<p>Not Possible. At all.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. Unless you already have a strong understanding of integrals and derivatives, it’d be really hard for you to juggle between limits and then advanced integrals. </p>
<p>But if you just need the credits, that’s different. It might be possible if you’ve somehow already learned Calc 1. But if you’d be taking Calc 1 to gain your first exposure and knowledge of the concepts, you’d really be doing a disservice to yourself by stressing yourself with both.</p>
<p>Take it one step at a time. Maybe you can take Calc 2 next year, after you take Calc 1. :)</p>
<p>If you take Calc I and Calc II simultaneously…you’re going to have a bad time.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for replying
I guess I’m a bit over my head</p>
<p>Yeah not possible separately. Check if your school has an accelerated calc sequence though. Its common to split up the 3 typical calc classes into 2 fast-paced ones.</p>
<p>How about Calc 1 in the summer, then Calc 2 during senior year? If that is not possible, just having Calc1 should be sufficient.</p>
<p>I agree with the others that taking them both at the same time is a REALLY BAD IDEA! However, many CCs have two short summer sessions, so it might be possible to take them one right after the other in the same summer.</p>
<p>You’re stressing out over not having finished both Calc 1/2 and you’re a Junior in HS? Relax…you’re ahead of the curve if you take Calc in senior year. Take Calc 1 over the summer if you can and then be prepared for Calc 2 or something the following summer, or try to concurrently take Calc 2 while in your senior year.</p>
