Why? Do students take both? Or get pushed into one based on even/odd grad year?

Not this year.

Multivariable calculus is not that freaking hard. You could teach it at the same time as regular calculus if you wanted to.

Will your kid already have taken Linear Algebra? If not, that is the better foundation before Multivariable Calculus.


DP. My kid's school offers both, each for a semester.


is this Gonzaga? My son took both senior yr.


No, not a Catholic school

Most don't offer both - there aren't enough advanced kids to offer this level of math. Facts.

Gonzaga also offers multivariable CALC and Linear Algebra. My son loved this experience at Gonzaga.

Our local high school doesn't offer either.

Sidwell admin probably doesn't want kids forsaking other subjects to do that much extreme more math, at the level of depth that Sidwell teaches.

Perhaps.

University of Maryland also teaches linear algebra before multivariate calculus. It's a better approach.
