Yes, it is a bit similar to linear algebra. I've taken the class.

Oh I loved Matrices when I took it. Your Professor's teaching skill will play a huge role in this class. It's a 2000 Level, so it's core for BBA student at Baruch.

My Professor doesn't teach there anymore...again, who you get plays a big role in getting through this class. The Professor ratings should not be ignored here.

ah I understand...well I think I got a pretty good professor but I think the material could be very challenging.

Maybe. But it must suck when you realize that I took your job and only paid 4k for college.

I am not pursuing my major, which was accounting. I'm pursuing my minor, biology. I'll be making more money then you by 38. :lol:

Unfortunately for you, i'm a finance major! More money than me by 38, not likely. Greed is good :lol:

Ask my wife. :lol:

I didn't "drop it." I always wanted go to medical school, but I didn't think I'd do well in it. And I basically locked up almost half a bio minor in high school with AP's including an advanced bio that I took outside of NYU. I wanted to do math my freshman year, didn't do well. I fell back on accounting.

We'll see how much money you'll be forking over to save your life when you go into surgery.

I was also considering going into medical feild, becoming a sergeon but i didn't think I could handle the 4 years of medical school + 3 years of residency. Don't have the financial support that it requires to go to Medcial School.

I love your quick response rate.

More importantly though, I'd love to know why you want to pursue medicine. This is not meant as interrogation, I'm just very curious. I'll explain why after receiving your answer, as my reasoning may skew your answer.

Sorry, I transferred out. However, taking Math classes at Baruch is far from desirable. I took Calculus 1 there. I got an A because the professor liked me. However, he was not too good of a teacher.

I do enjoy the fact that every class is very business-centric. Even in calculus, we always reviews potential business applications of everything we learned.
