| The "difficulty" of calculus in college really depends on the school and the course level. At many engineering schools, the primary reason for the math department to exist is to teach calc and divEQ to engineering students. At the top engineering schools this means that calc I and II will include proofs which are not that important for most engineering students.
As an engineering student, if you have earned a 4 or 5 in calc AB, you will be OK if you skip calc I. Unfortunately, you will have to take calc II for series and sequences (check the course descriptions for your school).
If you earned a 4 or 5 in calc BC you can consider skipping calc I and II.
I found that the elementary calc proofs can be important in grad school, but you will find yourself reviewing these proofs as needed. |
