    Calc iii Diff eq
Click For 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 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
