hmmm. Anyone know how bad it would be if I took Applied Linear Algebra and DiffEQ in the same semester

Anyone know how bad it would be if I took Applied Linear Algebra and DiffEQ in the same semester?

*shrug* I am right now, and it's not that bad. If you worked through calculus without lightening bolts and lava flows and other forms of Armageddon (or with them, even; my own calculus experience closely resembled something akin to the end of the world), then DiffEQ won't be too hard. It's a bunch of differentiation, and a little bit of integration, and a lot of memorization. We don't even use calculators. And linear is a lot of algebra-type memorization (rules, laws, theories, etc) and is more difficult on the proof-type stuff than it is on math stuff (and yes I know, proofs are math, but I mean numerical or symbolic things, like calculus is). Anyway, I'm not sure how you are in those areas, but that's what the courses are like.

Thanks!!! you are awesome! yeah... my calculus experience was...nightmare-ish...but really fun (in a masochistic sorta way lol)

Are you going to AggieCon? I've been trying to convince ppl here to go with me...but I'm thinking...even if not...it needs to be a tradition :-D

and as to why I didn't log in to reply to that...I have no idea :P lol

I can't. The 2006 Meeting of the Texas Sections of the American Association of Physics Teachers, the American Physical Society, and the Society of Physics is that weekend, and I have to present a paper. I totally wanted to though!! And hey, I totally wasn't kidding about Roswell. I want to go sometime.
