<p>How frequent and how significant sequences and series will be for engineering majors (specifically biomedical engineering)? If I am taking multivariable calculus, would I need a strong foundation in sequences and series?</p>
<p>for multivariable calculus you wont be needing any of it. i just completed calc3 and differential equations. calc3 is just calc1 but in 3D. you will be using power series in differential equations but imo they were super easy (just really looooong, one problem took 20-25 min with about 1 and a half pages of work). btw i sucked at seq/series in calc2. you’ll do fine!</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Calc and diff.eq were the easiest math courses I ever took</p>
<p>you will need it for diff eq.</p>
<p>you dont need a good foundation in it.</p>
<p>basically understand what a taylor series actually is, remember some useful ones like the trig and e^x…</p>
<p>know obvious things you can do with the sigma</p>
<p>Taylor series are pretty useful . . . polynomials are your friends . . .</p>
