Dropped by the bookstore to pick up some things for my mom. I came face-to-face with a copy of TC7 Leithold (which is not the proper name for that calculus book but it is what I shall always know it by).

I... wow I was so tempted to buy it and give calculus another try. Six hundred pesos seems like a lot as a student, but it's a sum I can afford easily now that I'm working. (Now time, that's the problem!)

Also, I'm curious, and I didn't notice it at first. BA, not BS?

Yes; as I recall, the BS degree required some additional courses and I was not quite the highly motivated individual I am today (what? it's true) when I was in college.

Actually, reviewing the requirements (here) reminds me that I needed a minor in Physics to get the BS, and I barely survived the introductory Physics curriculum. Thus, I elected to pursue more electives and get the BA.
