Good luck. FWIW math sucks, and you'll be doing a lot of it.

I'm getting through AP Calculus BC fairly easy right now. Scraped an A last semester! If I pass the AP test with a 3, I wont have to take cal1 or cal2 in college, just cal3

I plan on going into construction management or electrical/computer science engineering technology. MAYBE fire protection. OSU is one of only TWO universities in the country with an accredited program.

I thought 3 was the hardest, but it was probably just the shitty instructor. Try teaching yourself the curl test and stoke's theorem...

The AP calc teacher at my highschool is on the college board, leads AP test grading, and teaches calc teachers to teach. Over a 90% pass rating on the test

Sequences and series, along with proofs is the worst part of Calculus IMO, and here at UAH, that's Cal B, or Cal 2; whichever you prefer. Cal C is cake compared to part two.
