<p>Any justification for the above? Multivariable calculus isn’t required for the neuroscience major at any of those colleges, according to their websites.

<p>By far the most useful of those three classes would be statistics. These types of majors will require you to use statistics in your lab classes and you’ll need it to understand papers in the field, but you’ll never have to compute a double integral unless you go into some really specialized field. If you want to take a more computational approach to neuroscience then linear algebra would have direct applications to this. </p>
