[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does a student need dual enrollment MultiVar/Diff Eq? Isn't Calc BC enough for even engineering students?[/quote]

Are there statistics on how many FCPS students take Multi Var/Matrix or AP Calc or higher in their senior year?[/quote]

Not sure on those particular stats, but it looks like, according to college board's numbers, there were over 13,000 students in Virginia who took the Calc exam last year. (https://research.collegeboard.org/programs/ap/data/participation/ap-2020)

You need dual enrollment if the school isn't offering Multivar and diffeq and you finished calc before senior year, so you don't let your math skills rust before college.

No, most engineering students don't need further math beyond Calc BC *to get into college.* But they do often need to be accelerated by the time they hit middle school so that they don't go out of their mind with boredom, disengage from math/school entirely, and become problem causers instead of achievers.[/quote]
