Great question OP. I went on this forum looking for this exact question lol. I am 31 with a wife and son, and pursing an EE degree. I absolutely love physics though but, I don't think my wife is up to the task of all the work after the BS, so I will probably pursue a minor in physics and call it...

Thanks for this information. I am in the same position as the OP; age 31 with wife and son. I am pursuing an RF engineering degree but my passion is heavily rooted in physics. On that note though, I do not think it is fair to my family to pursue such an arduous road that has a high probability...

By no means did I interpret it that way:) Understanding any derivation makes life a lot easier whether you use it or not. I absolutely love math, so I am looking forward to taking it.

I enjoy your honesty lol, thanks.

I have declared Electrical Engineering. Physics Waves is a prerequisite for University of Washington's College of EE.

Here is the course description for Physics Waves: Explores electromagnetic waves, the mechanics of oscillatory motion, optics, waves in matter, and experiments in these topics for physical science and engineering majors. I appreciate the advice. And until now the only thing I connected...

I appreciate the advice. I am only going to community college right now, so you might be correct in assuming it is easy compared to other universities. My CC requires that Calc 2 be complete prior to Linear Algebra.

Thanks for the response and sorry for the delay! My wife had a lot of issues with her student advisers. Seeing her experiences, I like to verify the advice I get from them. Also, it is the Trust but Verify mentality I gained in the military lol.

My apologies for the late reply. I am keeping at 3 classes per quarter only because I take care of my kids during the day. So far I have had no issues with math. This is my projected quarter for Spring of next year. I was in the military for 11.5 years and had to start at Math 95 (one below...

My apologies for the late response. Finals are coming up and I forgot I posted this lol. I am keeping my classes at 3 per quarter. I take care of my kids during the day, so all my studying is done evening and night. I appreciate the advice.

I currently attend a quarter based college in Washington. My adviser suggested taking Diff. Eq's, Linear Algebra, and Physics Waves and Lab in one quarter. Would this be a good idea or not? I am smart, but not a Sheldon Cooper lol. Any advice would be much appreciated!
