Calculus II Differential or Integral for a prospective Biomedical Engineering major?

College Life
1

Hello, the title says it all. Bing offers Differential and Integral, I’m organizing my schedule… do I need to take both or just one?
I love math by the way. I’m fine with taking both but if I only need one, great. I don’t know much about Calculus, what is most common for an engineering major, Differential or Integral?
Thanks.

Ask your adviser. They know the best.
Generally engineers take 4 semesters of math…calc, calc2, multivariable and differential equations.
You only take one a semester.
Also ask this on http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/suny-binghamton/

Also here is the 4 year curriculum:

unless you have taken AP classes and got 5s or dual enrollment, do what it says.
If not, talk to your adviser.

https://www.binghamton.edu/biomedical-engineering/under-grad/4-year-curriculum/ indicates that you need the following math:

221 calculus 1
222 calculus 2
324 or 371 differential equations
323 calculus 3

http://www.binghamton.edu/watson/student-services/advising/pdfs/AP%20Equivalency%20Chart.pdf indicates that a score of 5 on AP calculus AB or 4 on AP calculus BC allows skipping 221 (though it would be a good idea to try the old 221 final exams in that case).
