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 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
