We were soon speeding away from the bridgehead on a route that was to bring us directly into contact with the enemy forces...
...freshman year, they should not go on. To avoid such discouragements, which often snowball into a disastrous sophomore slump, you should avoid a rough science schedule with inadequate math background as a freshman. If you fear a rough time with chemistry or biology as a freshman, take only Math Ar and Math 1a or Math 1a and 1b and plan to take Nat Sci 3 as a sophomore. And if you find chemistry hard you may well need to strengthen your math background and should consider Math Ar. The worst of all possible worlds is when a freshman loses...

If you feel your background in math is good, take Math 1 straight off. If you have less than 600 on the math SATs...
