SkydiveNFlorida 0 #4 February 20, 2004 Quote "Business calc"? More dumbing down of the curriculum! It is for non math/science majors. I have heard it is a lot easier than Calc Analytic Geometry from a friend who took it accidentally thinking it was all he needed, haha! I just got a 'b' on my calc III test The advantages of business calc cannot exceed the advantages of an extrememly easy job with internet access Angela.

jeremyneas 0 #5 February 20, 2004 Business Calculus, or more commonly refered to as Survey of Calculus or Calculus for Business and Economics is the exact same course as Calculus I without the Trig. In place of the missing link there, there are oogles and oogles of more application problems that directly relate to the fields of business and economics. It is no easier than Calculus I.

But the trig is the hard part of Calc I. And then Calc II is a tougher course. At my school we did Calc I and much of Calc II in 10th grade (I'm not kidding). Business Calc should be renamed Calc LITE.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wasn't bright enough at the time to realize that I should've opted in. In high school, I was just waiting to turn 16 so I could drop out.

I'd be interested to see some of the problems if you have a book. There's no substitute for Trig! heheh. Besides, the trig is the fun part. Why take out all the fun? ! Angela.
