<p>This one is for the engineering majors out there. Would you take DiffEq map2302with Dynamics egm3401 or with Physics2049 and 2049L?</p>
<p>I know all three are tough what do you suggest?</p>
<p>I’m transferring in from a community college this Fall, so I haven’t taken Dynamics yet, but I’ll share my experiences.</p>
<p>I took Calc 3, Diff Eq, and Physics 2 (w/Lab) the same semester, and I was studying constantly. I had no other classes, and was not a full time student (11 credits only). If you’re taking Diff Eq and Physics 2, plus softball classes (not Calc 3), you could get through it as a full time student, but you need to stay on top of your stuff. Diff Eq didn’t require TOO much work, but the homework required understanding some really abstract stuff to do well on tests. I managed to figure it out, but I think I was the only one in my small class to get an ‘A.’ Physics 2 has some tough concepts to figure out (magnetism and electricity weren’t as easy to picture as mechanics). I ended up with a ‘B’ in Physics 2, which was a disappointment for me, as I got A’s in all other critical tracking courses.</p>
<p>You can take DiffEq with either of those courses, but you should take Physics2049 (and lab) and finish the physics series(which is typically done in your 1st or 2nd year), before Dynamics (usually taken in your 3 or 4th year).</p>
<p>I took DiffEq and PHY2049 in the spring last semester. Wasn’t too hard at all.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info everyone.</p>
