I’m currently signed up for:
PHYS 2211 & Lab (Principles of physics, or Calc based physics)
Calculus II
and Linear Algebra. So 11 hours
I made an A in Calc I and precalc. I want to make an A in all three. Is this combination too crazy? I have all the highest rated professors at my school for all three besides Linear Algebra. What skills should I brush up on for all three classes? I had to work very hard for my A’s in my other two math classes. I took 12 hours with precalc and 7 with calculus in spring and summer respectively. I AM expecting it to be challenging.
@nd22708 There are two major dependencies which will affect your ability to do this
- Are this courses all at the same time? If you are taking calc 2 and the physics at the same time you might have some trouble if you are not very well versed at integrals (I don't know the specifics of your course but calc based physics usually is heavily integral based when dealing with the forces) but if you finish calc 2 then the physics shouldn't present that much of a struggle.
- If you had to work hard and barely managed to get an A in precal and calc 1 then calc 2 will be a struggle. It is significantly harder than both of those courses with more abstract application of concepts. As for linear algebra, it isn't really that dependent on knowledge of calculus so you should be fine unless you aren't very good with abstract concepts in which case it will also be a struggle.
Also I could be wrong but it sounds like you are talking about classes you are taking in college. This is supposed to be a thread for AP classes so you might not get that many good responses here if my previous statement holds correct. I would suggest moving your question to a more applicable location.
