Marconis Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm a sophomore, and since I am pitiful at math I had to take the slow route in order to build up to Calc 1 (College algebra, precalc to here). I transferred schools after last semester, and I didn't realize but they allow Introductory Biometrics to fulfill math as an alternative to Calc 2. I hear horror stories about calculus in general (no matter what the level) and me being terrible at math myself makes matters worse. So, I am wondering, if I pass Calc 1 this semester, would it be more wise to go the biometrics route or just go into calc 2? What do you guys think?

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well, questions: What subjects do Calc 1 and 2 cover? What's your major? Is math important for it? Will you be taking any math-intensive courses in the future? It's hard to tell which course is better for you without knowing your major and plans.

Marconis Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Sorry, should have stated my major: biology. Calc 1 covers differentiation while Calc 2 is integration I believe. I don't think I'll be taking any math intensive courses in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hmm. A lot of biology actually uses math, to many peoples' surprise. Get your integration and differentiation down. They'll prove useful later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
