<p>Are you guys having trouble with trying to study for your physics, math, and engineering courses?I found a great link: Study</a> Hints for Physics, Engineering, & Mathematics
I hope you guys find it useful, it was a eye-opener for me!</p>
<p>I also remember some the EE majors when I was an undergrad said that they arranged their courses to allow one course to help you with another. If I can remember correctly:</p>
<p>They put off Physics II (Elect & Mag) until AFTER taking the Electric Circuits courses because the circuits in the Physics courses ended up a breeze.</p>
<p>They put off Electric Circuits until AFTER Diff-Eq so that the Diff-Eqs in the EE courses were a breeze.</p>
<p>They would apply to the College of Engineering with just Physics I and no Electric Circuits courses because they knew they were doing 4.5 to 5 years.</p>
<p>Wow! I’m an electrical engineering major. This is great, so you’re saying:</p>
<p>Diff-Eqs >>>> Electric Circuits >>>> Physics II (Elect & Mag) </p>
<p>I have check if I can do this at my college (prerequisites and corequisites). This would help me out since I want to start my freshman year doing Multivariable Calc, Diffy Eqs, and Linear Algebra, as well as, Mechanics, Electricity + Magnestism.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Steel you are insane to load yourself up like that your first semester. Live a little!</p>
<p>Well, knowing differential equation helps you with electric circuit class since you can derive the transfer function of circuit containing inductor and capacitor using laplace transformation.</p>
<p>Like Inductor z-impedence is LS
Capacitor is 1/CS
You can derive the transfer function by treating inductor and capacitor as impedence (easier term, treat it like a resistor) and after forming complete laplace equation, you can take it back to time domain. </p>
<p>My point is, you don’t really need differential equation for electric circuit beside Laplace transformation that you learn at the very end of differential equation class. </p>
<p>Physics II only deals with really simple circuit so I don’t see the point of learning circuit analysis class before taking it… you will just waste tuition money for another semester.</p>
<p>i checked and i cant . . . </p>
<p>@boneh3ad: lol not all that in one semester, I meant the whole first year (fall, winter, and spring quarter for me).</p>
<p>thanks for the link, it is helpful</p>
