SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a student's course schedule for the upcoming semester in an Applied Mathematics major, which includes Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Transition to Advanced Math. The consensus among participants is that this schedule is manageable, especially for someone who has successfully completed single-variable calculus. Additionally, self-studying proof techniques is strongly recommended to ease the transition into the advanced math course.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of single-variable calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with proof techniques in mathematics
  • Knowledge of linear algebra fundamentals
  • Basic skills in differential equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Self-study proof techniques to prepare for Transition to Advanced Math
  • Review Multivariable Calculus concepts and applications
  • Explore resources on Differential Equations problem-solving
  • Investigate Linear Algebra applications in applied mathematics
USEFUL FOR

Students majoring in Applied Mathematics, academic advisors, and anyone planning a rigorous math course schedule in their undergraduate studies.

I'm majoring in Applied Mathematics and I am currently planning my schedule for next semester. These are the classes I plan to take. I would like to know if I will be able to handle this schedule, or if it will be too difficult. I will be a junior taking these courses. I don't have a mathematics advisor to talk to, only my general school advisor who suggested this schedule. Thank you.

- Multivariable Calculus
- Differential Equations
- Linear Algebra
- Transition to Advance Math (Concepts and techniques of proofs)

I would personally be able to handle this schedule. So I infer that you would be able to handle it too.

Did you have any major problems with single-variable calculus?
 
Well, it is quite bit of math for a single semester, but I don't recall any of those courses being extremely difficult. I would advise you to self-study proof techniques during the summer though. For two reasons:

1)My linear algebra class was particularly heavy on them, and if you're not used to them then it's a needless obstacle to overcome.
2)It'll make your transition class a bit easier.

My single-variable calculus course is going great and it's not too difficult at all. The applied math courses are the only ones I have left to take. If I were to postpone a few courses, I would just fill those spots with computer science courses. Which would not be any easier.
