That being said, I’ve found calculus a lot more logical than statistics but I might be unusual in that respect.

In college it will depend on your major and track on which, if any or both courses you’ll have to take. I was at a school were engineers had to take both but math majors only had to take calc. I took both and majored in math and continued on for a master’s in statistics. It’s a great field.

Many find statistics easier because it deals less with the math and more with the concepts behind the math. There’s still equations and things to learn, but the concepts are more concrete whereas calculus concepts are more abstract. But I’ve also found people who have a very hard time with stat because of this.

Calculus is harder because it requires more pre-requisite knowledge.
