    Calc iii Diff eq
AI Thread Summary
Taking Differential Equations (Diff Eq) directly after Calculus II is recommended due to the foundational concepts in Calc II, such as sequences and series, that are essential for understanding Diff Eq. Many participants in the discussion agree that this sequence enhances comprehension and retention of material. While some suggest that taking Calculus III concurrently with Diff Eq is feasible for high-achieving students, the consensus leans towards the idea that the optimal learning path is to complete Diff Eq immediately after Calc II before tackling Calculus III. This approach is believed to provide a stronger grasp of the necessary mathematical principles.

I am considering taking 1 or the other and possibly both next semester. Is there any advantage to taking one of them first, will taking calc III help me with diff eq or vice versa?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
My advisor and everyone I knew ahead of me recommended taking Diff Eq directly after Calc II. After having Diff Eq and Calc III, I recommend the same thing; take diff eq directly after calc II and then take calc III.

The reason is because Diff Eq builds off of a lot of that you learn in Calc II, sequences and series for example.
 
DaVinci makes a very good point, it does help to take them that way I would think.

Now if you normally get all A's and stuff then just take both at the same time, that's what I did.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

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...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
