<p>I recommend that everyone takes calculus if they can, preferably one of the AP sequences (AB for those not interested in math/science.) I’ve never understood this stigma revolving around calculus. If you have tamed the pre-calculus beast, you should have no problem. Understanding the concepts introduced in that class is much harder than grasping calculus. General single-variable calculus is in fact one of the easiest maths to understand. It makes sense to a lot of students who hate math leading up to it. Don’t be afraid to take it, and it is the key way to prove you “challenged” yourself in high school, especially as a non-STEM major. Taking online may not be the best idea. I took calculus online, but I had taught it to myself beforehand. If not, basically the class consists of teaching yourself with a textbook and a few other tutorials.</p>
