Right now, I'm scheduling courses for next semester, and since I'm switching from mechanical engineering to electrical engineering, I have a pretty open schedule next year. I was hoping to fill that with requirements for my music composition major, but there seems to be only one course open that I can take, so I've been considering taking the remaining two math courses required by my new major at the same time. For the curious, I'm going to probably talk with the teacher of one of the courses tomorrow. If I don't take the two math courses at the same time, then I'll be underloading credit for next semester, which is not a good idea in a double major.
The two courses are Differential Equations (course description: "Basic methods of solving ordinary differential equations. Systems of linear differential equations, Laplace transform, applications and selected topics.") and Linear Algebra (course description: "Linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues."). Typically, math courses here have the heaviest load out of any other course, but the other courses I'm taking next semester (minus one maybe) I'm guaranteed are going to be a cakewalk.
I'm going to ask teachers about it, but I wanted to get the opinions of people who might've actually taken courses like this and know what to expect. I don't know if I'm holding the BLF to a standard too high in thinking this, but it can't hurt to ask.
