"I need calculus and more."
If for example you intend to study
engineering, chemistry, computer science or physics, then
you will need first year calculus and more. The required
first year calculus sequence at College Park would be
MATH 140 --
MATH 141. (You can get credit for MATH 140-141 by scoring 4 or 5
on the Calculus BC Advanced Placement Exam.)
To enter MATH 140, you must have a suitable score on our Math
Placement Exam; a suitable MATH SAT score; or you must take our
precalculus course MATH 115.
The material of
MATH 115 can be covered in high school, but MATH 115
does carry University credit; you can see how you
fare on this material by looking at the
course syllabus for MATH 115, and perhaps checking out
some past MATH 115 exams on
TESTBANK, our online archive of
past exams.
It is an excellent achievement to learn calculus in high school.
BUT!!! First be sure you are solid
with your algebra and precalculus. You would be much better off
taking calculus in college with a good command of algebra and
precalculus, than you would be taking calculus in college with a
somewhat hazy background in algebra, precalculus and calculus.
