[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Multivariable if it is available - that's the end of the line[/quote]

General education math classes  include (introductory) statistics,  linear algebra, differential equations, and (maybe) discrete math.

Needless to say, these classes are not the end of the line for anything. [/quote]

Differential equations is part of multivariable calculus class.

Linear algebra and discrete math are only offered in very few schools.
HS/AP Statistics is a dead-end pre-calculus class for pseudo-scientists to misapply formulas.

You’re so opinionated!

Differential equations (ordinary, systems) is most definitely not part of multivariable (differential vector calculus, divergence, curl).

Precalculus may cover a small section of linear algebra (vectors, matrices) depending on high school and teacher. Most community colleges have a discrete and linear algebra class for dual enrollment.

HS AP Statistics is a good introductory class, hands down more helpful than multivariable unless the student is taking a real Thermodynamics/electromagnetism class (I don’t count AP Physics C electromagnetism in this category). Even then, AP statistics would be more helpful when considering the laboratory portion of the science classes (Physics included)

I see no reason for someone to take Multivariable before AP Statistics. It’s not calculus based statistics, but it’s good enough to cover the basics.
