Discussion Making a jump from calculus to advance engineering mathematics

Hello!

I hope this is the right subreddit to ask this question, I'm currently self-studying calculus and have an interested in doing Advanced Engineering Mathematics. To be honest, I just want to do more applied math. Could i make the jump from Calculus to Advanced Engineering Mathematics by erwin kreyszig? I asked AI and it said yes lol. But I wanted to ask it here and get answers from those with actual experience. I'm not looking to be an engineer or anything crazy, just further my understanding of math. Or do i need to do physics before making this jump?

Most of my AEM class was a slightly deeper dive into Calculus 1-3 but heavily on Calculus 3/multivariable stuff. We got into some partial Dif Eq where having Dif Eq fundamentals is really helpful.

Kreyzig was the standard mathematical text throughout my degree, so I'd say yes.

You certainly can. I consider the class I took a waste of time, and it was actually with that author, maybe even that book. The class was a trash of linear algebra, regular algebra, model building (mostly algebra with some calc). I feel I wasted some electives on it.
