hi every1.

how difficult is the second part of first year calculus for business (mata33) compared to the first? and the workload? what are the main areas of math covered? (i realize it's the rest of the textbook, but more specifically if you can please). for those of you who have taken it, do you find you have done better or poorer?


also, i'm having some trouble with accounting, mgtb06.
i'm kind of nervous for it right now because slipped through the cracks with a 60 and am unsure if i should take it in the summer when i don't have to deal with math (since it's another one of my weak areas).

my problem is if i do drop accounting i'm afraid that the sec year courses i'm taking will be even harder than the workload i have now.

i have to take summer school and if i recall we stream second year? but we can always decide to switch is what im told.

in general, how much more difficult do u find the sec yr business field courses compared to first year? i heard stats is a killer, and i don't have data management background experience.

I'm a first year management student too.

I believe mata33 is mostly based on linear algebra concepts and linear programming. There is also some multivariable calculus in it.

BTW, how did you find the final exam for mata32? I sort of found it hard.. a lot harder than expected.

oh geez, that math final... i'm quite sure the last question with the production function with the "m"s and "q"s written by grover... damn sure he wrote the "r" question for the second midterm as well.

the second integral i didn't get, but overall, the accounting final was the worst for me. i got a 50. geez. accounting is painstakingly difficult for me in that school.. i wonder how many others that were doing decent in high school can say the same (and no, 70 doesn't count as a low mark for me anyway). wtf..
