Yes I know that it's an option under the math requirements for the major, but I wasn't sure if it would be as beneficial to me as MAT 205. Well, I'm sure it will be fine; I'll be learning the same math and learning how to apply it in different disciplines :)

Yea you're probably right. If anything it sounds like this class will be fun and challenging, so I'm looking forward to it :smile:

Yes I have seen the course catalog, but thanks. The descriptions of the courses weren't available to me when I chose them at orientation. In fact, MAT 203(Calc with Applications) was suggested for me. This must have been the case because "normal" Calc III (MAT 205) wasn't open for whatever...

Thank you all for your input; fortunately I was able to register for "Calc III with applications" today at Stony- let's hope it was the right choice! UNFORTUNATELY, I was unable to register for the Classical Mechanics I Honors course, because it was full, so I'm stuck in regular Classical...

Yes I agree with both of you. I'm very comfortable with calculus 1 material, but some of my knowledge of series and ODE's needs a little polishing. However, I figured that instead of just enrolling in Calc II again it might be more advantageous for me to review over the summer, then jump into...

Well I took AP Calc BC my senior year of HS. Even though I slacked a little, I managed to pull off a 91 for the class. I don't know how I did on the AP exam yet, but I think I did fairly well.

Hmm... yes Stony offers Honors Calc I and II. I'll look into it. I was sort of surprised by the brevity and ease of the placement exam... it was nothing like the practice questions and was not very different from the AP course I took. One would think that they would make it very challenging, so...

Hi everyone. I just graduated from high school this month and I will be attending Stony Brook University as a Physics Major in the fall. Even though I took AP Calculus BC, I was forced to take the mathematics placement exam because my AP scores won't be back in time for orientation, which...
