Linear Algebra and Discrete Math at the same time?

AI Thread Summary
Taking Calculus 3, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Math simultaneously is feasible, especially in a strong math department. The decision largely hinges on the specific curriculum of Calculus 3, which can vary by institution. It is essential to consider the overall course load, as the addition of a computer science or analytical physics course may impact the workload. A solid work ethic is crucial for managing these advanced math courses together.

I am a math major currently in a community college reputed for having an outstanding math department, lucky me :D. I am taking Calculus 2 this semester. Next semester I'll be taking Calculus 3 with linear algebra or discrete math. Can I take all three at the same time or would it be an overkill? Like I mentioned earlier, the math department is the best there is.

It really depends on what other courses you're taking. I also took linear algebra and discrete at the same time. It's possible, but varies from school to school of course.
 
Well! If I take Calculus 3, Linear Algebra and Discrete Math together, only other course I'll take with these classes is either computer science or analytical physics 1.
 
It depends partly on what Calculus 3 is. In some schools, calculus 1 is differentiation and 2 is integration. In other, 1 is single variable and 2 is multivariable.

Nonetheless it is probably manageable with a good work ethic.
 

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...

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...
