Business Statistics or Calc 1 w/ analytical

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between taking Business Statistics (QMB 3250) and Calculus 1 with Analytical Geometry (MAC 2311) at the University of Florida. The poster is considering switching from Business Statistics to Calculus 1, believing it may provide a better foundation for advanced math and their finance major. Participants recommend taking Calculus 1, especially with a specific professor, while clarifying that STA 2023 is a prerequisite for QMB 3250. The importance of understanding the course structure and prerequisites is emphasized, particularly for students aiming to excel in finance. Ultimately, Calculus 1 is suggested as beneficial before tackling Business Statistics.

Hey I am transfering to the University of Florida next semester. Which one of these classes is easier? Business Statistics or Calc 1 w/ analytical geometry? I want to go higher up in Math and I was thinking calc 1 w/ analytical might help me before I take Business Statistics?

Right now I am signed for the Stats class for the fall but if calc 1 is easier and will help me in that one then I will switch my schedule and make it so i take business statistics next semester. I have already taken: trig, pre-calc and survey of calc. All were fairly easy.

Hey! I am going to be a junior at UF in the fall. You'll have a blast here.

you should definitely take Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (MAC 2311). I'd suggest taking it with Dr. Edwards.

However, what's your major? And is there even a class called "Business Statistics"? Are you talking about STA 2023 (intro to stats)? or QMB 3250 (stats for business decisions)? Either way, STA 2023 is a prereq for QMB 3250.

That's awsome! Have you been there since a freshmen? What's your major?

I took intro to stats, I meant stats for business decisions. My major is finance and I need that class for my major. So do you think it would be better to take calc 1 w/ anyalytical before I take the qmb class?

Thanks man.
 
Anyone else know if calc1 w/ analytical is a good class to take before stats for business decisions?
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
