<p>well i qualified for that 780-800 sat scorers thingy..and i was wondering....what to really take.....is 21-259 or 21-260 really that hard...
if it is what is the course that just comes below it in order of difficulty...????
Man registration is on...and im.....in soup...
background:
freshman,
done calculus for 2 years in high school(INDIA)
SUGGESTIONS!!!</p>
<p>And is it really an oppurtunity ....???(21-259/60???)</p>
<p>helpppppp!!!..time is passing.............</p>
<p>wat was ur initial calc placement?....i think u should stick with that....otherwise u would have to cover some topics that u didn't do here (in cbse/icse) by urself...</p>
<p>now heres the problem....my calc credit was 0!!!!....what would u advise me now?</p>
<p>If your calc credit was zero, then 259 and 260 are not available to you - you'll have to take 21-120, I think. 21-122 (the course that you take after 120) is a prereq for 21-259, and probably for 21-260 as well. I recommend against taking 21-259 and 260 unless you're quite confident about your calculus ability.</p>
<p>refrain from taking the 2 offered courses then...u'll have a hard time them!!</p>
<p>appreciate your help!
I guess ill go for 21-122....</p>
<p>I suggest you to take 21-120, cause sats are stupid exams and don't give any info about your calculus level. If you'll go for 21-122, you might be ****ed up with the intensity of the course.</p>
<p>but on the contrary i think u'll be just fine with 21-122 'cause we have done enough calculus here in india to skip 21-120 atleast!</p>
<p>How these courses work is like this. There are four topics: differential calc, integral calc, differential equations, and approximation. 21-120 and 122 go together; 120 covers the first two of those and 122 covers the last two. 21-121 covers the middle two (integral calc and diffeq) and its companion course 21-123 is a mini (half a semester course) that covers approximation. The 121->123 course sequence is for people who have had differential calc and no more.</p>
<p>Hopefully this info will help you choose the right course.</p>
<p>if i am in 21-120 this semester, will i take 21-122 next semester or 21-121?</p>
<p>21-122....</p>
<p>21-121 repeats the second half of 21-120 in its first half, as I stated in my post.</p>
