Any Benefit on waiting to take physics for math?

[TheKracken]

Alright, so I am a math major at a community college and I am very interested in mathematical Physics. I am curious if there would be any benefit in waiting to take physics longer? I am currently finishing up on my Calculus 1 course over the summer and will be taking calculus 2 this next fall along with the rest of my general ed ( English :( and German! :D ) and it would be nice to put off physics 1 until this next spring where I will take either vector calc or Linear analysis ( LA and DQ together.

So 3 questions;

1. Will it be detrimental in any way waiting to take the physics till after calculus 2?

2. Will there be any benefit in waiting so I have more mathematical intuition?

3. Which would be best to take after calculus 2, vector calc or( DQ and LA.) In terms of making understanding mechanics and then EM better.

1. Nope Kracken. (Unless it delays your transfering to Uni.)

2. Nope Kracken.

3. LA (You'll need to Calc 3 (Multiv) before doing Vector Calc, unless it's all combined (rare))

You should be able to take Mechanics concurrently with Calculus 2 Kracken. The only part of Calc 2 you'll really use is Taylor series (maybe finding moments and what not if you haven't covered it already in calc 1)

Ok, I just figured knowing more math would benefit me in the rest of the physics courses. I appreciate it!
