By "more or less" did you mean to say "not at all"?
Why are you answering this question when you don't know the answer? I guess we don't know what we don't know, but still. The confidence of your response is preposterous in that it is totally wrong (annoyingly so).
From the
Alberta Math Curriculum:
30-1

This course sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of calculus. Topics include algebra and number; measurement; relations and functions; trigonometry; and permutations, combinations and binomial theorem.

This course sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of calculus. Topics include geometry, measurement, number and logic, logical reasoning, relations and functions, statistics, and probability.

Do you see the blatantly obvious distinction? 30-2 is valid for entry into University.
30-3 is the equivalent of 33 from when we were kids.
30-2 is awesome for kids entering into Humanities and Education programs. I took math 30 twice, had a tutor and was in Renert Tutorials when I was a kid. I found it basically impossible. 30-2 would have been a godsend. Math 30 was the last math course I ever took - 30-2 will be the last math course my daughter ever takes because her math brain is identical to mine.
