I am new to this forum.
Although physical chemistry only requires calculus 3 (which I'll have taken regardless), many people are saying that I would be better off taking more math than that before taking physical chem, since I wouldn't have to learn as much that's new. I've been recommended to take differential equations and linear algebra. Do you think that'll be enough to get by on?
Before I transfer to a university, I won't have many classes my last semester at that 2-year college. They also offer discrete mathematics. Would this class also help me for physical chemistry?
Also, how much physics do you recommend? I've had college physics 1 & 2 and statics, and will have had dynamics, thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, and fluid dynamics before taking physical chem. Will this be enough? I've heard that physics 3 (wave and optics) and physics 4 (modern physics) also may help a lot. Will they help enough to go out of my way to take those classes?
