Is there a placement test? If you ace it you might be able to skip Calc I-II (the single variable stuff) all together. In fact, I wouldn't suggest doing this unless you do ace the placement test...pure mathematics IMHO is a hard abstract branch of academia which only a few select people find...

If I hated Numbers Theory, what would make you think I would take Abstract Algebra after? lol Like I said, I have respect for applied Math. Stuff that you can use in your everyday life. If I was hiring for some financial firm, I'm not going to hire the guy that knows prime factorization on the...

I'm only a Math minor (CS major) but the key to lower mathematics like single variable Calculus is just practice. Honestly, the professor can't throw anything too crazy at you, most problems would be from the book. I can't think of one Calc I/II problem that can't be plug and chugged into some...

Speaking as a CS student taking a Math minor. I have taken classes and done relatively well in most of the upper div Math courses I taken (ODE, Linear Algebra, Optimizatiion, etc etc) Most of these subjects are quite useful in real life. Linear Algebra? I use matrices fairly often...

Homework Statement {(-3,-4),(-7,2)} Find the value of the game (basically saying find x*) Homework Equations E((x,1-x), 1)=E((x,1-x),2)) The Attempt at a Solution Basically I used dot product of (x,1-x) and column 1 (-3,-7). I got 4x-7 for that, which is my E((x,1-x). Then I found the dot...
