Correct, for math the 16a/b, 1a/b, 53/54 count towards the math req. If anyone is interested in a major in MCB keep in mind that Math 16a/b will not satisfy the math req for MCB.

I have heard some people use a 5 on BC calc to fulfill the MCB req for math and then take 16a/b for med school as a GPA boost. I don’t really approve of this… but apparently it works.

For the jump between BC calc you pretty much have to cover second order differentials, a little hyperbolic, and how to use series to solve differentials. All this is just one to two chapters, so definitely doable if there are others interested in the 53/54 series.
