<p>I want to go into mechanical E or Physics and was wondering what everyone did as far as math courses. Did you take science courses concurrently or afterwards. Thus far I have taken probability and statistics-I like it, and Calculus derivs,integrals. I have studied on my own, sequences, series, force integration (physics), some stuff about graphs and trees. I am reading about Vector calculus now because I did not know how to do the dot and cross products that I needed for physics (magnetism). I plan on taking the stats test and the bc calc test. What should I do as far as freshman year in college. Should I take mostly math classes and then concentrate on my major in the next 3 years. I will be taking the physics C test, and will place out if I get a 5 on the tests.</p>
<p>Well, most schools will give you a four year plan with a layout of what classes need to be completed by what time. It really depends on the school. However for engineering, you'll pretty much be assured taking Single and multivariate calculus, differential equations, vector calculus, and linear algebra. Typically, you get all the math, physics, chem, and other ge's out of the way early and focus in later. It all depends on how your school has it set up.</p>
