<p>I was always told that your Calculus sequence should be “1 ahead” of your Physics sequence.</p>
<p>Calc I then Physics I, Calc 2 then Physics 2…although like UCBAlumnus said, it would be real nice if you could get in Calc 3 before Physics 2 or at least have Calc 3 cover enough vector material before Physics 2 starts with E&M.</p>
<p>When I was an undergrad, some EE majors delayed Physics 2 until after the first Electric Circuits class so they could “kill” the Electronics portion of Physics 2.</p>

<p>Differential equations was my “operating systems” (of CS) of the math program. Things really clicked with that course.</p>
