Hello,
Im currently taking a Calc 3 summer online class right now to get ahead in my engineering courses. Im curious as to how important calc 3 is for engineering? Specifically aerospace/mechanical? The reason im asking is because when i was taking calc 1 and 2, i knew the material pretty well. I feel iffy in calc 3, im getting through it but it doesn't seem very useful in further engineering compared to other math classes. I know diff eq and calc 1/2 are very important but for aerospace engineering at Penn State calc 3 was only required for one class. (the reason im taking it in the summer) You aren't even required to get a C or better in it like my other required classes, you just don't have to fail. My siblings who are currently engineers say that its not important in the future really. So whats the main purpose of Calc 3? I understand the 3d aspect of it but my own college doesn't even view it very important.
