[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes calc II and III, physics I, II, III. Also statics and dynamics. This was at UMD more than 10 years ago.[/quote] And these are vastly harder than AP Calc BC and AP Physics C? Do these classes prepare you at all?[/quote] Somewhat. My son has always been getting easy As in high school math, went beyond AP calc to multivariable calculus and differential equations, never been tutored, etc. And then he took Calc II-III as a math major in one of the top schools. It was brutal. Half of the math majors switched to something else, like economics, as a result. I'd imagine the same thing is happening with Engineering majors. [/quote] Yup. IME for good math students, math continues to be easy until you get a course and BAM! Suddenly it’s not. It’s like you’ll find where your brain reaches its limit.[/quote]
