<p>Hi, I’m an incoming Stern freshmen and had a question regarding which calculus class I should enroll in. Currently I’ve registered for Calculus I, but I did score a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam. As a student interested in majoring in economics/finance/accounting (not quite sure yet), would it be better to register for Calculus II or does Calculus I sufficiently cover most of the class prerequisites at Stern? I’m also interested in grad school in the future, so taking a higher math course may help depending on my major.</p>
<p>From what I hear, Calculus I is all you really need at Stern, I myself (also Stern) scored a 4 on Calculus AB (without studying) I’m taking Calculus I over again to reinforce some of the rushed learning I had to do because of the cram for the AP…plus I think it will help your GPA by taking Calc I. BTW, you could always contact Stern Advising…

<p>Hope that helps</p>
<p>Unless you’re in a math-related major which requires you to take anything more advanced than Calc I, it’s probably a good idea to stick with it. It’s all you need for prereqs for most majors. Calc II is apparently really hard, harder than Calc III, just because of all the integration rules and stuff. So unless you really know your basic calculus, it would probably be best to take Calc I.</p>
