Networking America's Service Academy Candidates
For those who had taken math course during SLS....
ok.. so I got an acceptance mail of SLS from west point admission officers.
When i applied to sls, my #1 preference was mathematics workshop.
and I expected we are going to do some kind of calculus or other profound level of math problems..
However, I just read over the course description and found out that
we are doing some kind of "Sabermetrics" and "modeling the artillery piece"
is it serious all about those things?
For those who had taken math workshop last year or previous years..
had you guys done any calculus problems? or just "Sabermetrics"?

Most of the workshops are watered down academically to make them more "appealing" to a larger group of participants at sls. I'm guessing this is true for mathematics so I wouldnt expect any calculus.

Stupid questions get stupid answers.
Not everyone going to SLS has had calculus before. Additionally, Calc is a tool, not a concept like the topics they will be covering. They want to dive into something that is interesting and prompts thought; not spend time analyzing a tool.

I'm planning on taking the SAT beginning of junior year. Would this be an advantage over the majority of people who will be only using the PSAT? Assuming that I get over a 2000?
