FYE Spring Plan. Will I die?

[u/EmeraldOnFire101]

[u/LegoWill05]

Not even an engineer, but why would you take two Purdue math classes at once?

[u/ACrabWithAWrench → u/LegoWill05]

Yeah holy fuck don't do that. Math was one of my strongest subjects and I got fucked taking Diff EQ and Linear at the same time. Can't imagine learning multi and Diff at the same time

[u/ProfessorAlvin]

Don’t do 261 and 262 at the same time. I’m surprised that’s even an option.

[u/ExtensionSquash5220 → u/ProfessorAlvin]

came here to say the same damn thing

[u/Chinosou]

ik you probably want to graduate super early but id replace one of these classes with a gen elective if i were you

[u/GapStock9843]

I thought 261 was a prereq for 262. Dont take both, if that isnt the case it absolutely should be. Just do calc 3 and a gen ed requirement

[u/PusheenicornCult]

do not do two math classes at the same time here, it will only bring you suffering, also 159 is evil

[u/superteach17 → u/PusheenicornCult]

I once took 2 math courses at the same time… pulled out my left shoulder muscle carrying those books around… it still bothers me sometimes…..truth…

[u/Present-Ad2848]

My advisor for my major told me that often when people try and do 261 with another math class they withdraw from one or get a D in both

[u/MasterClown]

Will I die?

Probably.

Are any of those a 7:30? Then absolutely.

[u/shithead_magoo]

You will be miserable but it's possible if you don't like fun. No way you need to be this aggressive, theres humanities reqs you need to get done too so find some fluff

[u/stars_maybe]

Something to consider: having a higher GPA earlier on in college will make it easier to land internships as a sophomore. Replacing one of these classes with a gen-ed can help with a GPA boost.

[u/rh71el2 → u/stars_maybe]

Ooh tell us more. Also do companies automatically say no to freshmen?

[u/KingOfTheBritons96]

Yes, you must hate yourself to take 261 and 262 at the same time

[u/Own-Syrup65]

What major are you doing ma 262? Nobody requires that anymore I thought. Just do ma 265 or ma 266

[u/ACrabWithAWrench → u/Own-Syrup65]

Well, a decade ago materials still required it, and with MSE 230 being there, could be that.

[u/Own-Syrup65 → u/ACrabWithAWrench]

Oh yeah that is true, i mean I took ma 262 my freshman year as a mechanical engineer but they changed the curriculum the semester. I was taking at so there's like nobody else taking that class Anymore.

[u/Paulista14]

[u/superteach17]

Yes… those engineering classes will take up a lot of your time… also, I would not even attempt that many hours…did your counselor see this?

[u/Big_Marzipan_405]

no thats fine

[u/UncleIrohsTea1]

Nah

[u/Loading0319]

I did 261 and 262 together and survived, but barely. I would recommend doing one of your humanities classes instead of 262

[u/KryllyxOfficial]

I did 261 and 265 at the same time, and I hated my life. Don't. Just don't.

[u/hldrocalido]

Yes. Tread carefully

[u/ilikepizza1275]

Good luck bro

[u/Typical-Macaron-1646]

Don’t do calc 3 and diff eq at the same time.

[u/ProductRelevant5045]

take either 262 or 261. no need to take them both at the same time

[u/Below20]

If you really want to take two math classes at the same time, do linear and difEq together next fall

[u/aiyanalam]

How are you taking 261 and 262 at the same time, 261 is a prereq for 262

[u/Hecknawbro]

At least MSE230 is easy…

[u/New_Guava_511]

Had this line up in high school, you should be fine.

[u/Funny-Combination287]

Why multi and lin alg at the same time? Just take multi bro, no need to get so ahead, you’re already more than fine taking multivar calc

[u/Classic-League6609]

okay why though like why are you even doing all that 😭

[u/Agile-Eye-8390]

figuratively

[u/SashaZzzzzzzzzzzzz]

No

[u/Masta_Fwogg]

switch one of the math with a random elective like econ and you’re good

[u/Used-Reporter5656]

For your math is you struggle at all or your prof sucks, Dr. Trefor Bazett on youtube has great courses on calc III, linear, and diff eq. He helped me get a 95% on linear

[u/Loose-Pudding-67]

short answer: yest

[u/Electronic-Towel-836]

Dead man walking.

[u/FLYingFFEather]

yes, unless you've previously taken a multi var or diffi class.

[u/thebiglarzilla]

Doesn't make sense to do, FYE advisor will second this.

[u/CuriousIguana34]

Nah thats fine. I took ME 274, ME 200, ECE 2K1, ECE 264, ECE 2K7, MA 266, MFET 163 Spring of my freshman year and it was not bad. I was also a TA for CS 159 that sem

[u/Glass_Buy2115 → u/CuriousIguana34]

Wow that’s a crazy semester

[u/Bryanmaster64 → u/CuriousIguana34]

Bro had negative free time

[u/CuriousIguana34 → u/Bryanmaster64]

Highkey I had a ton; I just have to manage your time well during the week and I was able to do whatever on weekends

[u/Tonight-Bubbly]

Everyone in the comment section soft. Just add a spare class for fun just in case. You can drop one of the maths if it gets too bad at the drop by date. If this is spring u already have ur friend group set so u don’t have to spend too much time until the weather gets better making new friends.
