Fall 2024 - This class was.. quite a rollercoaster. If you have taken calc (ex. I took AP Calc BC), the first half of this class will be a breeze. They spend like a month teaching you what a derivative is while avoiding the word "derivative", and then it all derails into some weird math (my friends and I nicknamed it "fake math"). Many parts of it are quite conceptual (like the word problems they give) and can be confusing at first. * to be fair to this class, I barely paid attention during lecture (partly because it was somewhat hard to understand), so my experience may be somewhat biased. I relied on prior calc knowledge and studied the lab worksheets and homework to get by. If you're a bio major, I would recommend taking the other math series (I think it's 31/32 or the 3 series) over this class. If you don't have a background in coding, the python labs aren't explained too well and you may need to spend extra time figuring it out. I've heard from others that these labs weren't even important and they never used what they learned in this class ever again.
