Calling all college students.

[Root beer]

Anyone of you know the different between Calculus A and Calculus 1? Here in Tennessee Calculus A is math 1830 while Calculus 1 is math 1910.

I'll ask my Statistic professor Friday, but was wondering if any of you took Calculus A or knows somebody who did.

Thanks.

My older bro has a minor in math and he says that there is no such thing as Calculus A

Maybe you mean pre-Cal.....?

Nope. My degree requirement says Math 1830 and when I register for it, it says Calculus A....

My stat professional did tell me it was design for business majors. He also claimed it was whole different animal from Calculus 1. I guess it just state of Tennessee that has it? I'll ask him again on Friday.

My brother took Calculus 1 so he doesn't know either.

P.S. I'm taking a wild guess that it has mix of pre-calculus and calculus along with basic skills that will be used in quantitative method. I have to have this class before I go into Econ 2210 which says in course description Business Statistic. I'm assuming it Quantitative Method.

Math 1720 is pre-cal and trigonometry

Math 1830 is calculus A

math 1910 is calculus 1.

and if anyone brave enough

math 2110 is calculus III

LOL. That how it set up in Tennessee?

[Captain Obvious]

Well good luck, guess we don't have Cal A in Tx

They call it Business Calc here at school

I only needed 1020 (college algebra). 1030 is Business Calc here.

That's what I was going to say.  At my school I took a math class called "Calc for Liberal Arts Majors."  It was a joke.

Thanks for the responds. One guy in my Statistic class said he took it long time ago (he took times off from school apparently) and he said only thing he remember was, it was easy...

I guess I find out on August 26th.  :

[CFFF 1.5]

when I was in college, I was a business major and we had to take pre-calc and business calc. I would think you are taking a business calc or pre-calc class.

Haha, that just sounds like a joke of a class  ;D

In RI I know Calc 1 and Statistical Analysis 1 are both accepted as entry level Calc Credits.

[.ghoti.]

Back when I took calc courses, the professor held up the 1000 page text and said, "what we have here are two ideas and 998 pages of examples.

What you're going to get in a business calc course are the same two ideas, integration and derivation, and a lot fewer examples.

[Root beer]

After Calc A, I take a class called Econ 2210, which says in course description Business Statistic.

A guy in my Economic class told me that Calc A was all graph..

It amazing how every states and colleges has different names for the courses and graduation requirement.

If I go to college in Alabama I would be require to take 4 English classes, while in Tennessee I only need 3 English class.

[Captain Obvious]

They speak English in Tennessee?!!!!! ;DLOL

Here, I copy this from my schools online catalog about Calculus A:

A one-semester course in the differential and integral calculus of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions with applications. (Prerequisite: MATH 1630 or 1710 or permission of the instructor.)

P.S. Look like I have to get permission from my instructor to go into this class. I'm taken math 1530 I think. It probability and statistic. I got a B in the class currently.

They are prereq's for a reason dude. I would definatley take one of them just to get a good base. And that is huge when jumping into a calc course no matter how good you are in math.

I'll talk to my adviser about it. My articulation agreement has me at Math 1530 then math 1830...no prereq course. But I'll see. Taking a prereq put me behind and load me up. Logarithmic and exponential are in the calculator. I did that in high school geometry,I cannot remember what problems look like, but I remember using the calculator for it.

I'm sure hookem would remember all that junk. I got up to calc 2 done in high school and I'm very glad I did. I couldn't imagine doing all that calc in 16 weeks. I acctually took calc 3 as a high elective credit. Pre-calc and Calc 1 were the hardest imo. Calc 2 was a little easier and Calc 3 was as easy as Algebra 2 or Geometry imo. It's great when you get a lot of math done early because you can take your higher number elective credits.
