is this schedule too much?

It sounds like the two math classes is a hard requirement, and the Japanese would at least give you a break from math problem sets. It’s not necessarily going to be your favorite semester, but it sounds reasonable given the needs for your major.

Linear algebra is sometimes taught in multiple departments. The math department will be more theoretical but check and see if it’s offered to engineering or CS students as an applied math class. You might like it better. (Assuming the applied version also meets the prereq.)

I’m sure you’ve heard this plenty of times, but have to do your math homework! Your homework is where you get fast at the computational aspects of the class. If you can work the computational part quickly, that’s what buys you time to think through the theory part on the exams. And if you continue with physics, you will definitely get to see the math applied.

Good luck!
