[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is track same for IB schools? I thought for IB there are some 2 year long math courses.  Is that calculus for 2 years?  Or are math classes same for IB program where do algebra 2 then pre calc then calc then multi-var?[/quote]

I teach at an IB school.  IB math classes are survey courses. They'll have some calc, some stats, some discrete math, all rolled into one class.  Analysis has more calc, applications has more stats, but both have some of everything, which means the problems include some of everything--your statistics questions could have calculus embedded, while in AP stats there is no calc.[/quote]

So is applications class in IB akin to taking AB calc and analysis to taking BC calc?  Asking NOT in the subject matter material being covered but if the lesser track AB calc is similar to taking applications (and BC calc similar to the analysis)?  Thanks and a related kudos to HS kids taking classes that mix the math elements- gads, for sure seems harder math world than mine from 1000 years ago.[/quote]
