Mostly a lot memorization of formulas and a heavy amount of algebra. Calc 2 is definitely not necessary, as it is mostly used in the last section of the course, where anything you need to know is reviewed pretty well. The final exam is cumulative and definitely a lot more brutal then the rest of the exams; make sure to prepare for that one. Overall not too hard but relatively time consuming.

Class is basically an extension of Calc 2 and very heavy on memorization.

Expect to relearn trig identities and random integral formulas that you probably forgot from last year.

Demas is the best prof out of the MAP2302 profs.

The class period you chose does not matter since you can listen to any professor's lectures and class has no iClickers.

Definitely a tough course that requires a lot of attention. I fell behind at one point and catching up on the lectures was a lot...Demas is not great, I found her really distracted most of the time and so I stopped going to class and just watched Huang's lectures and Manly's youtube videos from when he taught the course in Spring 2021. Lots of extra credit though which is always nice. Just grind practice exams, do all the extra credit, and stay on top of lectures if you want a fighting chance.

Partial derivatives and gradients are super helpful with a lot of upper math courses and engineering, so it is a very useful class.
