preparing for upper-division engineering classes

<p>beggining this fall, i will be studying aerospace engineering at a 4-year university in CA. i am a transfer student from a community college in CA.</p>

<p>i heard my major is heavily based on math and physics. given good amount of time from now to september when the fall quarter begins, what subjects should i go over if i have to choose? </p>

<p>also, are differential equation and linear algebra important to know? i crammed those classes during a summer session and passed, but i dont really remember the materials...im actually considering retaking those classes during summer at a nearby cc. </p>

<p>appreciate any input!</p>

<p>i think the question wasnt clear. i want to review my math and physics before i take upper division classes, but cant review them all apparently. so what subjects should i review? im still waiting on decision for Cal, but if not ill prob go to ucla.</p>

<p>bump…

<p>Basic differential math is going to be critical and your life will be a living hell if you dont know it lol. Linear algebra may or may not be critical but WILL make work soooo much easier if you can remember the basics.</p>

<p>Also, depending on the university, you may want to find out what mcad package is used most often in you dept (probably either matlab or maple). Its engineering 100 at the university that im at now and I was at a disadvantage when I transfered (transfers skip eng100). Excel maybe used often too.</p>

<p>ty for the advice.
im thinking of retaking those classes at a college around ucla during summer before fall quarter begins.</p>
