Yeah actually that was exactly what I was going for. I bombed calc 2. My school now requires Diff Equations AFTER calc 2 for mech eng tech. ---- that.

i think i went throught the same thing you are going through. i did 4 years in the navy as an IT (informations systems tech)
That's funnny you mention that. I had the idea of joining the navy and doing auto/aircraft/diesel work.

Would you join the navy if you could go back and do it over again? My whole family hates the idea of the service. especially since I'm 2 years into school.

What the ---- is wrong with your school? Any mechanical engineer that doesn't take Calc 5 isn't a mechanical engineer. I guarantee your school isn't certified.

Besides Multi-variable ---- and Linear/Diff-Equations what more does your typical engineer need to know that they teach you in your 'Calc 5' class?
