To anyone who has taken Advanced Calculus.

And series (in calc 2) Evilest things ever.

Why? The topic refers to Calc 4, a 400-level math class. Calc 1 & 2 are 100 level math classes.

Because I'm an Irish secondary (high) school student taking higher level maths for the Leaving Cert. And I don't have a clue about what 400-level and 100 level maths classes mean.

I want to compare the stuff you're doing to the stuff I'm doing for my Leaving Cert.

Well, I'm sure you've taken Pre-Calculus then. It'll teach you to look at graphs and such, and you should know what an asymtote is(I remember one of my co-students always liked to say "Can you say what an 'ass-symtote' is again?"). It's hard to tell you what kind of problems to expect if you haven't taken the class yet.

But in colleges in the US, 100 level math classes are generally math classes that are entry level. 400-level classes are the highest undergraduate-non-honors- classes that one can take before getting their degree.

Sounds like all you're talking about is multivariable calculus and/or real-numbered analysis. Easy as balls - don't even sweat it. At my school, it's required for all majors anyways, and we take it our second or third semester here.

Nah, multivariable calculus/analysis is calc 3 at Maryland. It's a 200-level math course. I've already taken the class last semester and I might just wait till my last semester to take it. So this fall I might take Math401 and Math430 instead of Calc4(math 410).

Well, I go to a private undergrad school, so I really have nothing to compare your numbering systems to. So I don't really know what you're talking about. Got a course syllabus or website?

[Del Murder]

Without a list of topics I don't think we can help much. UCLA doesn't get into 400 numbered classes.

Multivariable integration was the hardest subejct for me, so if you handled that fine you should be ok.

That's the course syllabus for the class. You'll see the topics there. It says it's a "rigorous" look at functions of one variable. So eh.

[Del Murder]

The 'rigorous' part of it is probably what you have to worry about. The topics there shouldn't be anything you haven't seen before if you've gone through intermediate calculus classes. I hate the Cauchy stuff. That guy's annoying.

Seems like a lot of stuff to go over in one semester...

It's a rigorous look, meaning that you are going to be looking at things you've done before, except this time instead of in a vector fashion you are going to look at it in a series and convergence fashion. It's a different way of thinking, but it's not necessarily hard.

Looks like Real Numbered Analysis. You'll be fine - it's a sophomore class here.

sounds like fun!
