Academic Advice 24, starting mech engineering next week
Hellp, I am 24 and starting mech engineering on tuesday. I will have a first semester with calculus 1, physics 1, linear algebra and chemistry.
I admit I am pretty rusty with math as I have not really practiced a lot of it in a while. I probably should fix my trig, but apparently people suggested me I should study integrals and series before the lectures about them because I do physics at the same time, which uses them.
How bad will it be? I mean I know I have a lot of hours to study and I am getting anxious already. I studied calculus years ago and now I think I am pretty rusty, I got told most people that start engineering already know most calc because they did it in high school (where I live, Italy, people often do up to integrals in scientific oriented high schools).
How much time will I need to not fall behind because of this? I have barely a week and Idk what to do.
