MTH 131 Calculus for the Business Sciences or...?

Math 151 Calculus I is definitely more challenging. This calculus is part of the required curriculum for science majors e.g. bio, physics, chem., engineering, and math majors. These majors obviously require a strong proficiency in calculus as the scientific theory/concepts cannot be adequately explained/used without it. To put this another way: in Calc 151 you will be sitting alongside premed, physics, engineering, chem and math majors, whereas, in the Calc for Business Sciences you will largely be in a clroom with economics, finance and business majors. Clearly the former academia demands a greater understanding of calculus.
