...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 upon the teaching fellow you are assigned.
