should i or should i not? any advice? here's my current fall08 schedule:
calculusIII
differential equations
mechanics of solids and fluids
general ed course

both calcIII and de are in the evening (back-to-back, 2 hours each). for those who have taken both of these classes, is it possible? or am i setting myself up to drop on of those during the semester? i hear that de isn't too bad of a course. if i take them separately, ill have to add another semester to my plan, making it 4 years in community college...ouch. any advice/insights would be appreciated.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If you haven't taken linear algebra yet i would replace d.e. with that and then take d.e. next semester
 
at community college? easily doable.
 
I took DE/Cal III/EP II in my last semester at CC before transferring and it was a surprisingly light semester.
 
Agreed. DiffEq and Calc III are easily manageable together...especially at CC.
 
I am taking similar courses this quarter - two math, one engineering, one GE. Easily doable.
