3 Math Classes in one semester

College Majors
1

<p>For the fall semester of my Sophomore year, I'm planning on taking 3 math courses
Calc III (4 credits)
Applied Linear Algebra (3 Credits)
and Mathematical Structures (3 Credits)</p>

<p>On top of
Macroeconomics (Possibly Honors) (3 credits)
and my mandatory Honors Seminar (3 credits)
Total of 16 credit hours</p>

<p>I'm currently an Econ major, but in the process of tacking on a Math major as well. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience taking 3 math courses. I got an A in Calc I, and thus far (I know it's early in the semester) I'm not having any trouble with Calc II. I'm fairly new to math in general. I absolutely HATED it in high school (In fact my only B's during high school were in math), but for some reason I love it now and I actually feel confident in the subject... There are several professors on campus that I know I can get that are known as the best professors for each respective class. So should I take each class if I'm guaranteed great, fair professors?</p>

<p>The way to explain Calc III is that it is literally Calc I in three-dimensions (so instead of integrating over a 2-D space in a definite integral, you integrate over a surface). For most students, Calc II is the most challenging course in the calc-sequence because it is technically difficult and requires critical thinking skills. For other students who have trouble visualizing, Calc III is more difficul because of the visualization skills required.</p>

<p>Linear Algebra isn’t bad (at least at my school), and I’m not sure what Mathematical Structures is. Last semester, fall of my second year, I took two math courses and an upper-level English, and I thought it was doable. If you’re willing to put in the time (and you recognize that you are weaker in math and are proactive about seeking help), I would definitely say go for it. Then again, I like math.</p>
