Science - Mathematics & Statistics / High School subject
English term or phrase: calculus class
Hallo,
bin mir nicht ganz sicher, ob ich mit meiner Übersetzung richtig liege....

Kontext: There was a guy in my calculus class
in high school, and he was nothing like XXX, in fact, he was actually like a straight-A student, kind of nerdy kid.

Ich habe "calculus class" mit "Mathekurs" übersetzt, liege ich da richtig?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!
