<p>How can I ask my counselor to approve it if I want to take Cal 3 and Linear Algebra and Differential Equation in the same semester? (Because Cal 3 is a prerequisite of Lin Al & Diff Equa...)</p>
<p>PS My GPA is not high but it is quite okay. (a little bit above 3.5) and I experienced a lot of course loads.</p>
<p>How can you ask? Just as the counselor directly >_> I don’t think you can do that…that’s kind of like taking Calc 1 and 2 at the same time (at least without special program)…but maybe you can at your CC 
My CC has this special Calc 1 and 2 that is fast paced, where Calc 1 is in the first 8 weeks and 2 in the other half</p>
<p>That is NOT a good idea. </p>
<p>I would not approve it regardless of the student for Diff E and Calc 3</p>
<p>Lin Alg is all about vectors and vectors get introduced in Calc 3. If you are expected to know Vector operations in Lin Alg you will not do well if you do not know it. Do you know vector operations?</p>
<p>Go for it. Ask your counselor, it will be fine.</p>
<p>Vector operations aren’t that difficult to learn and are discussed in Mechanics (Physics, the one with the calc 1 pre-req). At my CC the pre-req for Linear Alg is only first semester Calc. Furthermore, Calc 3 is not a pre-req (although it is a co-req if you haven’t already taken calc 3, which works in your case) at my cc for D.E, so you can definitely handle it. The only downside is that my CC is relatively small and doesn’t offer linear and d.e. in the same semester,</p>
<p>Regardless, if you think you’re up to doing 3 math classes in one semester, go for it. You will definitely be able to handle the material.</p>
<p>I had that schedule but it was the second quarter of calc III (my school splits it) with diff eqs and linear algebra but I was also taking my last physics class. So if you’re school is like mine and you only have to finish the first quarter of calc III before you can take the rest go for it. Just don’t expect it to be easy…</p>
<p>I took linear algebra and calc 3 simultaneously. I had a guy in my class doing that, and differential equations, and physics: electricity + magnetism. </p>
<p>He did very well in all classes as I recollect, but he was pretty gifted with math. </p>
<p>Unless your math skills are strong, I would not advise on this.</p>
<p>Ogi</p>
<p>i think its doable its just gonna be a really crappy semester. But if you’re gpa isn’t very good then i think this is not going to end well.</p>
<p>Linear Algebra can be taken at the same time or after Calc 3.</p>
