You don’t really need to know much, if any, math from the 50 series for physics before it’s taught in the 50 series. You might do a bit of differential equations in Physics 61, but it’s probably only one or two equations and you can just learn the given solutions. Talking to your prof for 15-20 minutes should easily catch you up.

Take the 60 series only if you think you really love physics. The 40 series probably would be a repeat of what you already know. To be honest I didn’t really enjoy the 60 series that much, or any physics class really, but I think that’s just because physics isn’t really for me. Feel free to send me a PM if you have further questions.
