[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the story of MV calculus, at least the way it's taught at the HS level, and at many universities, is that it's not necessarily a more challenging subject than 1/2.  It just doesn't make any sense without 1/2.  On the other hand, if an introduction into Analysis or abstract algebra were offered as AP courses, that would reveal a different level of mathematical sophistication, and give admissions something they could differentiate on.[/quote]

The College Board has come under fire from woke activists for offering AP Calculus AB/BC, claiming these math exams disproportionately exclude certain racial groups,  but favoring learning habits of Asian American students and, some white students. In response, the College Board rolled out the watered-down AP Precalculus to boost broader participation. There's no chance they'll introduce AP Multivariable Calculus or anything even more advanced—at least not in the U.S. Apparently, American students are  too fragile to handle advanced high school math like calculus.
