<p>I was looking at [url=<a href=“http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/Advising/UGHandbook/10_BSBIO.htm]this[/url”>http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/Advising/UGHandbook/10_BSBIO.htm]this[/url</a>] website for my major and I have a couple of questions. Why does it say Math 16 OR Math 17 OR Math 18. I don’t get why there are three different ones. Is one better than the other or something? Also, what do the ‘A’ & ‘B’ mean in Chemistry 2A & Chemistry 2B? Oh, and do you have to take Statistics, or can you take Calculus instead?</p>
<p>MAT-16 is regular calculus. no calculators allowed
MAT-17 is biomed calculus, calculus tailored for premed
MAT-21 is calculus primarily for engineering students</p>
<p>CHE-2 is regular chemistry
CHE-118 is organic chemistry</p>
<p>it doesn’t matter which one you take because they are supposed to be “equivalent.” I would take MAT 16.</p>
<p>the curricula is divided into A B &C. A is first B is 2nd & C is the 3rd in the series, follow them in order or you can skip the intro if you got a high score on AP test or credit form transfer credit form CC.</p>
<p>I looked at your website…calculus & statistics depends on which degree you want in psychology.</p>
<p>stats is required for all: AB, BS-bio ephasis, & BS-math emphasis</p>
<p>both stats & calc is required for both the BS degrees in psychology</p>
<p>look in your general catalogue</p>
<p>Good Luck, hope i helped a little</p>
<p>Wow, you helped A LOT! Thank you!!!</p>
<p>I am confused about the different types of math classes. So what exactly is Math 16? Algebra 2/Pre-calc? I get confused because then there are Statistics & Calculus classes apart from Math 16/17/18…</p>
<p>Math 16 is short calculus, 16/17/21 are all calc classes tailored to different majors, nillo_joe already went over the differences. I would also suggest checking out the general catalog for some overview and descriptions. Not sure what you mean by Stats and Calc classes apart from 16/17/21…</p>
<p>Where is this general catalog?</p>
<p><a href=“http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/pdf.html[/url]”>http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/pdf.html</a></p>
<p>they’ll probably address all these questions at orientation, so don’t worry too much about it.</p>
<p>To clarify, there is no math 18, you’ve said it twice, it’s called Math 21…</p>
<p>(just so nobody is confused)</p>

<p>^Oops, sorry about that. </p>
<p>Thanks for all of the help! :)</p>
<p>*I have a question…what is the upper & lower division about? I’m confused…and all of those numbers under core division? I have to take all of those classes by the end of four years, correct?

<p>*Also, I want to take General Psychology, and I noticed that one class has a limit of 500 and the others around 300. So should I take the one with the lowest amount enrolled? Does anyone know anything about Block? lol</p>
<p>lower division is freshman and sophomore level classes, upper is junior and senior level. you don’t have to take all those classes listed under core, the instruction says 7 of the core and the rest of the 40 units can be filled by any upper div psych class</p>
