<p>I go to Orange Coast College and I want to transfer to UC Berkeley or LA. I am taking precalculus right now and will probably get a B. Is it important for me to take Calculus I before transferring? I’m planning on taking it to add variety and also academic rigor; otherwise I do not like math and would not choose to take it.</p>
<p>you don’t need it. the one math college level transferable class is sufficient and all you need to transfer.</p>
<p>if you can take it and get an A do it, I have taken the calculus series (math major), and see a lot of similarities with the logical side of philosophy.</p>
<p>take it with koines for easy A</p>
<p>If you’re fulfilling premed requirements as a philosophy major I would get the Calc out of the way while you’re still at Orange Coast. If not, I don’t understand why you are planning on taking Calculus unless you really enjoy math.</p>
<p>If you’re getting a B in precalc, then that’s an indicator of how ready you are for Calc. If you’re happy with a B and/or really enjoy math, then definitely go for it. If not, then I don’t understand why you intend to take it.</p>
<p>@Lakerforever24: I was going to take Koines but heard his class is a waste of time. I’m currently enrolled in Voicu. Have you heard anything about her?</p>
<p>^ i was taking voicu last spring but dropped it after the 1st day bc i didn’t understand what the hell she was saying.</p>
<p>take it with sonia avetesian.</p>
