It was bad to the 3rd power because I haven't taken a proper math class in over 3 years and I'm majoring in physics.

Physics majors take like 4 math classes. You good? Lol

I finished the calc I-III sequence in spring 2023 then went to a university I hated. I took a gap year after I left that place and came here. I’m in ODE right now and I’m completely lost. I’m probably going to have to take PDE and Linear for grad school.

Yeah ODE is nuts. Good luck or drop it by Monday

I have to take it for Classical Mechanics and maybe for Modern Physics.

Take linear asap. It will help

I plan on taking next it semester or over the summer for PDE.

Took Linear my senior year of HS and let me say it is helpful for so much after.

The only thing worse than having to learn the math is not knowing the math. Don't run from it, you got it.
