<p>I'm a high school senior and I'm now taking</p>
<p>General Physics with Calculus(modern physics)
Applied Linear Algebra
Differential Equations
Computer Science
Electrical Circuits</p>
<p>in state university. And I plan to take Advance Calculus, Advance Multi Calc, Introduction to Real Analysis, and Data Stucture in next term. I don't know if it's worthy to take them because I don't know whether CMU or other universities would acknowledge these credits(even give as non-credit prerequisite). Can anyone helps?</p>
<p>You can probably get credit for most, if not all of them. That being said, it’s questionable if you want to skip some of those classes; it really depends on your major I suppose. Are you looking towards ECE?</p>
<p>If you do get credit for those advanced math/physics courses, it will probably only help you for the CIT general requirements. In your case, you will probably get credit for 2 semesters of freshman calculus (assuming you do well on the placement test), 2 semesters of math and science electives (3D calc and diff eqs will satisfy that requirement), and 2 physics for engineers classes.</p>
<p>You will also probably be able to skip the introductory computer science class if you do well on the placement test.</p>
<p>Have you taken the AP Physics C E+M/mech exams? If you get 5s on those, you will be able to skip the 2 physics courses here.</p>
<p>It is unlikely that the courses you are taking will help you in terms of skipping actual ECE courses (like Intro to Electrical and Computer Engineering or any other course with the 18— prefix), and even if you could, I would strongly recommend against trying to skip them.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t intend to skip any ECE courses(and it’s not worthy too). And I actually got 5s on Calc BC(also AB Sub) and Physics Cs. How about those like advance/adv. multi calc or intro to real analysis?</p>
<p>Those extra courses will count for free electives at the most (after you use two of those various university courses to get credit for your 2 higher level math/science electives). Either way, based on what you have said, you will be in very good shape in terms of getting your ECE degree if you do decide to come to CMU.</p>
<p>I would also strongly recommend taking a probability and stochastic processes course, especially if you want to pursue the signal processing path.</p>
<p>If you’re in ECE, you need already have the Physics done through AP.
The first two calc classes are done.
Depending on which university we are talking about, it’s totally up to the MATH department whether to grant credit for Calc III and analysis. This is not a CIT decision.</p>
<p>Since you’re not even admitted yet-- this is premature. If you’re ED and get admitted, then contact Kurt Larsen (CIT freshman advisor) and he’ll likely tell you to contact Mackey (math guy) to help you take courses in the Spring at the local state school. But what is indeed your rush?
Real Analysis is not a required course for ECE. Discrete math (we call it 21 127 Concepts). </p>
<p>There is no point taking com sci ANYWHERE other than SCS. Really no point. We’re number 1 – here is where you want to take the course.</p>
<p>DFE might be required.
Honestly, if you have a burning need to take classes-- take your General Education humanities classes - they will hang over you like the plague - all 8 of them – get those done. (and no, before you ask, you CANNOT exempt yourself from freshman english- not even if you have a nobel prize in literature under your belt!)</p>
<p>The reason why I want to take these advance math courses in my senior year is because I’m not planning to major(even not minor) in math, whereas I still want to learn most of the concepts in pure math. About SCS… I think the only course I’ll transfer(if I get accept) is the computer science; the other classes just give me a preview.</p>
