I have never taken differential equations. Why is this course given after calculus 3?
I thank you for your reply and for sharing this data.royhaas said:It may depend on the school. For example....
Calculus 1: Limits, derivatives, differentiation of functions of one variable; applications to motion problems, maximum-minimum problems, curve sketching, and mean-value theorems and a few other topics.o_O said:Just a question (if you don't mind nycfunction), what do Calc I, II, and III courses consist of? ...Also, what would come after your standard calculus classes? ...Where would linear algebra, topology, tensor calculus, etc. (words that have no meaning to me at the moment) fit in ?
o_O said:Just a question (if you don't mind nycfunction), what do Calc I, II, and III courses consist of? It seems to be a standard US thing to call them as such ...
Also, what would come after your standard calculus classes? I'm going into pharmacy next year but I'd like to keep up with undergraduate math on my own time. Would analysis come up next? Where would linear algebra, topology, tensor calculus, etc. (words that have no meaning to me at the moment) fit in ?
Generally, First order linear ordinary differential equation is taught right after teaching antiderivatives - as in AP calculus AB (may be BC). This is generally taught as rate problems - a practical application of anti-derivatives..nycfunction said:I have never taken differential equations. Why is this course given after calculus 3?
