: At my univ. Calc III is being offered at a time that is no good for my sched. I wanted to know if I could take Diff EQ w/o the knowledge gained in multivariate.
: I am pretty good at teaching myself and I am finishing calc II with an A and a solid understanding.
: Also is there any topics in calc III I should study before Diff EQ or is it just out of the question
: Thanks in advance,

check the prerequisites for D.E. at your university. If calc III is a prerequisite then I would suggest waiting to take D.E.
however, most colleges & universities I know of do not require Calc III for D.E.
There are many people (including myself) that take (or took) both courses during the same semester.
I don't think you'd have a problem considering your record.
