<p>I made a sample schedule of what I would like my schedule to be: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1753271/sampleschedule.jpg%5B/url%5D">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1753271/sampleschedule.jpg</a> but I am unsure if it would be smart to take diff eq, especially as a 9AM class. I already learned multi this year though and half covered a potion of diff eq, so I am hoping that won't require too much. I am thinking of pre-med track where I finish the curriculum by end of soph year. Thanks.</p>
<p>All my engineering friends say diff eq is an extremely easy class, so I don’t think it should be a problem, especially if you already have a bit of a background in that area.</p>
<p>Shouldn’t be a problem at all. In fact, it’s probably a good thing, because you’ll be able to go through the old enmath, and only have 1 class instead of 2 to take. (I believe the phase-in makes diffEQ 3 credits instead of 4 in spring 2013).</p>
<p>yanks12, echoing the other posts, you should be fine, especially if some of the material is a repeat.</p>
<p>Johnson181, what else does the phase-in plan affect? I saw that Calc 3 is now only three credits (lucky freshman!)</p>
<p>I think I mentioned this in another post. Eventually this is what it will look like (I dont know exact time frame):
Calc 3 to 3 credits (from 4)
DiffEQ to 3 credits</p>
<p>Both of those were the decision of artsci. </p>
<p>In response, engineering had to make up the missing material. </p>
<p>So EnMath, ese 317 (currently 4 credits), is becoming 6 credits.
It will be split into 2 classes: ese 318 & ese319. </p>
<p>You will be able to take 318 and 319 in any order- one is not a prereq for the other. </p>
<p>I’m actually sort of a fan of the change, even though it has zero effect on me. Apparently it means that the fast crazed pace of 317 will be calmed cause you get two semesters for it.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity what topics are generally covered in 317?</p>
<p>I’ll try to remember as much as I can:</p>
<p>Laplace transforms, vector spaces, linear algebra, vector calculus, series solutions of differential equations, partial differential equations.</p>
<p>You may want to pay a little attention to alternatives with regards to class sizes. i.e. your section of chem has 6x the number people enrolled as the other two sections, so the chances of getting in, depending when you register are obviously smaller. They obviously add a couple hundred spaces, but sometimes you won’t get the section you want and may have to shuffle things around.</p>
<p>Ahh. I am planning on going to engineering weekend to meet with advisor and register for class. Would that help me get into the classes I want to?</p>
<p>Earlier you register, the better. But as a freshmen make sure you have some alternate sections that can fit in your schedule for chem and physics. Most people know who the popular professor is, and will try to get in to that section. Not everyone can.</p>
