<p>that is too much for a typical student.</p>
<p>what if i take out ugba 102?</p>
<p>The main concern is taking 53/54 with 101a. From what I heard, you start using linear algebra in 101a right of the bat.</p>
<p>umm only 53 is a prereq tho for 101a so how could u use linear algebra?</p>
<p>typically students dont take 53 and 54 in the same semester as the pace of both courses goes quick, and the grading distribution can be tough.</p>
<p>I obviously don't know what I am talking about.</p>
<p>You need to know the material from Math 53 before you take 101A. If you are taking them concurrently, unless if you've already studied the Math 53 material before, you are making a mistake. Taking Math 53 and Math 54 is a mistake unless you are a math prodigy or unless if you have already learned the material for both classes already. Even if you've taken Math 53 and Math 54 equivalent at community college, I would still not take them together, unless if you don't care about your grade.</p>
<p>I have to disagree with the above. I took both Math 53 and Math 54 last semester and found it VERY doable. The two courses really don't conflict with one another and the pacing didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. I got an A- in 54 and an A in 53, and I certainly don't consider myself to be anywhere near a math prodigy, and I've never seen the material before either. A lot of people said I was crazy for taking both at the same time because it sounds horrible on paper, but in reality it just seemed like taking any other 2 technical courses.</p>
<p>^^The simple fact that you got an A- in one and an A in the other means you are very very good at math. Do the math and you'll see. ;-)</p>
<p>haha i agree.</p>
<p>I mean, it's not that you CANT do well on both courses during one semester, it's just that those courses are not made so that an average student can ace each course.</p>
