Hi, I'm an incoming freshman of ND and I intend to major in Economics after my first year. While selecting courses from the bulletin, I noticed that there are 3 couples of Maths courses which confused me a lot.

Math 10250 (Elements of Calculus)& 10260 (Elements of Calculus 2 for business) are required if I want to major in Economics, but they seem to be a bit easy for me. Also, I'm considering taking CAPP (Computer Application) and attend some computer programming classes. Math 10250&10260 may not satisfy CAPP's requirement for complicated programming.
Math 10550 (Calculus 1) & Math 10560 (Calculus) are a bit hard for me, but they will satisfy all the requirements.
Math 10350 (Calculus A) & Math 10360 (Calculus)-- frankly saying I don't know much about them, but they seem to be good chooses.

In conclusion, I don't think I should take Math 10250&10260, but I'm struggling between the later two sets of Math courses. What's do u guys think? Shall I take Math 10550&10650?

Plus, can anyone give me any suggestion on Economics major?

Thanks a lot!

Sorry to ask another question on your question, but when do we actually select these courses?

i might as well add my question. let's say i want to get either a philosophy or theology course out of the way.

now you are supposed to put 4 seminar choices on your selection sheet. so there are several theo classes, all on the same thing but different teachers have different numbers.

so my question is... do i put like 2 theo classes id want and 2 philo (keep in mind that each theo class and each philo class is the same, they just are different teachers)? or do i just put 1 of each and then 2 other seminars im interested in?

you can put down any theology/philosophy classes as your choice for seminar if you want to take them in that setting...you can still take a theology or philosophy class first year though in addition to your seminar if you chose say a history or english seminar

I took Calc 10260 my freshman year (I tested out of Calc 1), but I don't really remember what each of those sets of numbers mean. But, I know Engineering Calc satisfies you for everything, regardless of major, Business Calc only satisfies Business or A&L Calc requirements, and Science is somewhere in between. Your safest option is to take Engineering Calc, although like you said, it might be unnecessarily difficult. However, it might be required for CAPP. Most probably, though, you'll be fine with Science Calc.
