Can I handle this applied math course schedule for next semester?

[nick7s]

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.

I understand the importance of planning and managing schedules effectively. Based on the classes you have listed, it appears that you have a rigorous and challenging course load ahead of you. Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Transition to Advance Math all require a strong foundation in mathematics and may require a significant amount of time and effort to succeed in.

As a junior, you have likely already completed many of the prerequisite courses for these classes, which should give you a solid understanding of the mathematical concepts and techniques needed for success. However, it is important to assess your own strengths and weaknesses in these areas to determine if this schedule is manageable for you.

I would recommend speaking with your general school advisor about your concerns and asking for their advice on how to prepare for these courses. Additionally, you may want to reach out to other students who have taken these classes to get their perspective on the workload and difficulty level.

It is also important to keep in mind that every individual's learning style and abilities are different, so what may be challenging for one person may not be for another. Ultimately, it will be up to you to stay organized, manage your time effectively, and seek help when needed to handle this schedule successfully.

Best of luck in your academic journey.
