<p>Bus Econ requires 2 Calculus classes right?</p>

<p>I got a 5 on my AP Calc BC exam, so that means I only need one calc class?</p>

<p>The problem is I dont know which to take.
On the schedule of classes they wrote
"Maximum UC credit is allowed for only one series, either Math 7,8 or 28, 29. "</p>

<p>Should I just take any one of the following or which do I need to take?</p>

<p>MATH 7, Calculus 1
This course is intended for computer science, engineering, mathematics and natural science majors. Topics in this course include limits, continuity, and derivatives and integrals of algebraic and trigonometric functions, with mathematical and physical applications.</p>

<p>MATH 8, Calculus 2
A second course in calculus. Topics include derivatives and integrals of transcendental functions with mathematical and physical applications, indeterminate forms and improper integrals, infinite sequences and series, and curves, including conic sections, described by parametric equations and polar coordinates.</p>

<p>MATH 11, Multivariable Calculus
Topics include vectors and analytic geometry in two and three dimensions, vector functions with applications, partial derivatives, extrema, Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals with applications, vector fields, Green’s Theorem, Divergence Theorem, and Stokes’ Theorem.</p>

<p>MATH 28, Calculus 1 for Business and Social Science 5 units
This course is intended for students majoring in business or social sciences. It is a survey of differential and integral calculus with business and social science applications. Topics include limits, differential calculus of one variable, including exponential and logarithmic functions, introduction to integral calculus, and mathematics of finance. </p>

<p>MATH 29, Calculus 2 for Business and Social Science
Topics include techniques and applications of integration, improper integrals, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, method of least squares, maxima and minima of functions of several variables with and without constraints, methods of LaGrange Multipliers, double integrals and their application, elementary differential equations with applications, probability and calculus.</p>

<p>Well,</p>

<p>The Pre-Req for business econ at ucla are the following smcc courses:</p>

<p>Econ 1 ,2
Math 7, 8
Eng 2
ACCTG 1, 2</p>

<p>take Math 8.</p>

<p>edit: got this from assist.org</p>

3

<p>hmm thanks a lot. </p>

<p>Math 8. I will call tomorrow and confirm. Unfortunately all the good classes are full for Math 8 >< Serves me right waiting so long.</p>

<p>Edit: How did you know I go to SMC?</p>

4

<p>i was looking at smc before</p>

<p>i recalled math 7 8</p>

<p>other schools have math listed as 1 2 3 or 101 102 etc</p>

5

<p>A google search of the Math 7 course description also gives it away</p>

6

<p>so, i'm confused about this also. is it like 2 quarters of calcululs make up one semester of calculus?</p>

<p>my school, calculus 1 covers everything that the two required courses do and calculus 2 is multivariable calculus. </p>

<p>does that mean just taking calc 1 at my school will be enough to satisfy both requirements since all topics from both calc classes are covered?</p>

<p>I got 5 on Calc BC and was told by someone when I called the econ department that it satisfied my lower division math requirement. So Im basically under the impression that I dont need to take any math as for lower division goes. I could be wrong, and if I am then #$%^.</p>
