<p>I been told by someone that you must take MATH every single semester if you are majoring in chemical engineering. I thought chemical engineering only go up to Calculus 4.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of a ChemE (or any major besides math) being required to take a Math course every semester. Check with your school’s curriculum. At my school Chemical engineers only take a math every semester their first two years. On top of that, they only have to take one a semester (Calculus I-III and Differential Equations). Every school’s curriculum is different. Not to sound mean, but Google is your friend. Just type in “Insert your schools name here” Chemical Engineering undergraduate curriculum. That should give you all the information you need.</p>
<p>The chemical engineers at my school take two semesters of accelerated calculus which are:</p>
<p>1) Differential and Integral Calculus
and
2) Sequences, Series, and Multivariable Calculus</p>
<p>after that they take</p>
<p>3) Differential Equations</p>
<p>some of them choose to minor in math and take more. Other than that, they only have to take 3 math courses which are typically done in 3 consecutive semesters.</p>
<p>A math course every semester sounds like way more math than needed but you should be able to google your degree plan pretty easily and check what the requirements are.</p>
<p>Typical math requirements would be through multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. For a student who enters without AP/IB/A-level credit for advanced placement in math, this typically means one math course in each of the first four semesters (or six quarters at a quarter system school).</p>
<p>For my D who got AP credit for Calc1 and Calc2, she just needs to take Calc3 and Calc4 in first year to fulfill the ChemE Math requirement.</p>
<p>RPI crams the whole Calculus book into two semesters, so only Calc 1 and 2 required, then Diff Eq 3rd semester. Linear Algebra and an engineering focused Probability and Statistics course would be useful additions.</p>
<p>ChE is physics heavy, not math heavy (like mechanical for example). Granted, physics is math heavy. Look up your school’s curriculum because that’s the only way to know for sure.</p>
<p>You might have to take a stats course for a general education requirement, though. That will depend on your school … as said above, look up [school name] chemical engineering degree plan or curriculum and try [school name] general education requirements</p>
<p>I agree with @mitec12 , ChemE courses themselves are mathematics heavy. You may not be taking a course labeled Math but the content will be heavily mathematical, as is physics.</p>
