Math 20E Vector Calculus

<p>I'm looking through the planned instructors for the next three quarters and pretty hesitant to choose any of them.</p>

<p>Planned</a> Course Offerings for 2010-2011</p>

<p>There's no CAPE statistics on any of them for teaching 20E.</p>

<p>I'm leaning towards Professor Volpato in the first quarter, but I'll also be taking 3 other electrical engineering courses (2 of which I must take, the other being in the similar situation as this math course, except CAPE statistics do exist for the professors.)</p>

<p>Will that be too tough for my first quarter? (I haven't taken courses in a quarter system before, so I'm worried things might be too fast paced if I take too many courses)</p>

<p>I suppose I have no rush to take this math class, but I'm worried about the line-up of professors offered in the other quarters if I don't take this professor the first quarter.</p>

<p>Should I go with an easy first quarter and try my luck with the professors I have no reviews or background information of?</p>

<p>Looking at CAPE statistics, most professor statistics seem to point out that around 40% of the students expect to receive A's in the course, regardless of the professor (in general).
Anyone have any comments from taking this class? (Difficulty)</p>

<p>As a CSE major, I’ve never taken it myself since I’m not actually required to, but from what I’ve heard, 20E is supposedly one of the harder/hardest math courses in the 20 series.</p>

<p>I’m taking 20E this summer session with Eggers. I’ve found it relatively easy, but I’m going into my senior year and I’ve seen a bit of the material before. I really recommend the professor if you can get him.</p>

<p>i would take 20f before 20e</p>

<p>Thanks for replies, I might try to take it this Fall quarter.
I have taken Math20A-F, except E already from community college courses :slight_smile:
It seems Eggers is teaching Math31CH (Honors Vector Calculus) in the Spring Quarter</p>

<p>Hopefully it won’t be too tough of a quarter.</p>
