Calculus III & differential equations in one semester?

AI Thread Summary
Taking Calculus III and Differential Equations together in the evening is generally considered manageable, especially in a community college setting. Many students report that both courses can be handled simultaneously without overwhelming difficulty. Some suggest that if Linear Algebra has not been completed, it might be wise to take it first before tackling Differential Equations. Overall, the consensus is that the schedule is feasible, and students have successfully completed similar combinations. Balancing these courses could help avoid extending the time spent in community college.

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.

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.
 

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...

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...
