What kinds of classes do EE majors take?

im looking at my course catalog and the names and course descriptions seem really inaccesible, "calculus 1, 2, 3", "mathematics of physics and engineering", "linear circuits", im wondering if someone could help me get an idea of what these types of classes actually do?

Is your question really more about problem sets worked outside of the classroom? Time, difficulty, grade result? Class is very little of the time
involved in math studies.
