| Well, if you plan to be a math major, I recommend math courses. Usually the sequence "calc I (equiv. of AP Calc), linear algebra, multivariable calc, differential equations" is offered at community colleges and it wouldn't hurt to get that out of the way. (You will probably take a much more rigorous version of that sequence eventually at whatever university you attend, but it's good to have the background knowledge to build on.) Advanced math courses (topology, real/complex analysis) probably won't be offered at CCs and you won't have time to reach them. The reason I suggest taking math at the CC in the evening instead of AP Calculus is that you could get through multivariable calculus in one year if the CC is on the quarter system, instead of taking all year to do just AP Calculus AB. Then you would be able to use calculus in your AP Physics class and in any other courses you take at the CC during your senior year. |
