I am taking differential equations next semester and i'm wondering how difficult the class is. I found cal 2 and multivariate calculus to be relatively easy and i was wondering how they compare to differential.

I heard differential eq's covers considerably less material than calculus 1 ,2 or 3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

if you found calc 2 easy then you should do fine in differential equations. i got a B in calc 2 and a D in diff eq's.

At most universities the "differential equations" course is cookbook to the absolute max

If you can remember like 10 methods and which equations to apply them to you should come out with 95+%

I've seen the material at over a dozen universities for their DE courses, and it's literally mindless. It's the literal definition of applied math vs actual math. Even Calc 1 has some actual math slightly explaining the theory, but DE from what I've seen is literally "IF situation A, apply algorithm B".

I took the engineering honors Duffy q's course here at University of Texas and got shrekt. Mainly because I tried to learn by reading proofs. Stupid, stupid mistake.
Barely pulled a C

You'll first learn: differential equations are equations containing one or more derivatives of one or more variable with respect to one or more independent variables.

The rest of the course will be about how to solve x type of dif equation. Its basically mesmerizing stuff and doing enough exercises that you'll never forget a few of them.

not very hard
lots of power series partial fractions and integration by parts
learn the tabular method for ibp this will save time on tests

interesting course but not that hard
the best thing is now you will be able to solve all those equations in your basic physics book

khan and patrickjmt have full course videos
