...Math 1b fulfills the math requirement for a host of science concentrations. While the course material is technically comparable to the AP Calculus BC syllabus, the conceptual focus and trick problems make this class a challenge even for those who passed the AB/BC sequence with flying colors. Students who got a 5 on the BC exam and are prospective life sciences concentrators should consider taking Math 19a, a life sciences-oriented course on differential equations that features advanced material but is relatively painless. Math 1b is taught entirely in section, and the quality of your learning experience is largely dependent...
