Two great vanity threads (both last year's and this one). Congratulations on reaching your goal. I admire your grit.

I guess that depends on if you count the time for each being separate or whole.

I began as an engineering student and I went up through Calc III. Personally, I didn't think it was very hard (although Calc II was pretty tough). I had an exposure to Diff EQ, but I didn't think that was all that hard either. All it seemed to be was a lot of multi-variable differentiation. As long as you're meticulous, it isn't hard to keep it all straight.

Thanks! He has been playing chess for a bit. He beats folks who have been playing for 20-30 years ( and surprises each of them because they are trying to beat him) We are working on the guitar.

He is going to surpass my math abilities in about one year at this rate. I am not like the rest of you on this thread. I need help---- lots of help ( and I am dyslexic too).

Thanks, next year maybe I'll do another academics related vanity thread ;) let ya'll know how I'm doin.
I'm sure by then I'll have failed all my courses, become addicted to heroin, be living under a bridge and selling the homeless "newspaper" on a corner somewhere. All the while mumbling incoherently about integrals and derivatives.

DEQ?

Sounds like a cake course.

My daughter, who is a chemical engineering major at Rice University, had differential equations last year, but at Rice that is not considered a full semester's worth of information, so instead their class is Ordinary Differential Equations AND Linear Algebra.

I am just kidding.

Congratulations and good luck.
