Most of the people who I know that took 250A without 114 took H113 so you might be a bit behind. I've finished my requirements for the math degree and I had quite a bit of trouble when I was enrolled in 218A because the prereqs were severely understated and the pace was extremely quick which...

Why not register for 114 and 250A and then dropping one based on how comfortable you feel with 250A? Also, did you take 113 or H113?

berkeley is a great school. the professors are really enthusiastic about the material and really go out of their way to help the undergrads. Also, i enjoy the flexibility of the applied math major since it allows you to pick a concentration for the type of applied math you want to do.

About 2 years ago, i graduated from high school with a 3.1 unweighted gpa but managed to get into UCSB because of my high ACT scores. After a year at UCSB i decided to withdraw and attend a community college for a year so that i could transfer. Despite having numerous Ds and Cs in algebra and...

So my book says that to solve a PDE by separation of variables, we check the three cases where λ, the separation constant, is equal to 0, -a^2, and a^2. But in this particular problem, instead of substituting λ=0, λ = a^2, λ= -a^2, they substitute the entire coefficient of X, (λ-1)/k =0, (λ-1)/k...
