Many feel that math is only useful or pertinent for those who are pursuing mathematically-based fields, but that simply is not true. It is important regarding the development of problem-solving-based skills, which are often best developed through mathematical reasoning.

At my school, BC students have had no prior exposure to calculus. In my opinion, it would be redundant taking AB one year and BC the next. BC simply extends the curriculum to include sequences and series (about one or two additional textbook chapters).
