I have the possibility of taking Calculus 1 and Discrete Math next semester.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the recommendation to take math courses in separate semesters rather than concurrently, especially for students nearing the completion of their Associate of Arts (AA) degree. Many participants express that spreading out math courses can lead to better understanding and retention of the material. Concerns are raised about the difficulty of taking multiple math classes at once, suggesting that it could be overwhelming. The consensus leans towards advising students to prioritize their learning experience and manage their course load effectively, particularly when aiming to complete their degree within a limited timeframe.

From the people I've spoken to, the general consensus is to take the class in separate semesters if possible. What do you guys recommend? I have 3 semesters left before I finish my AA and I want to get as many math courses in as possible...

Thanks.

Is it generally not recommended? Would it be hard? Any words of advice? Don't do it? Do it?
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
