calc 1 is hard until you find out the easy way to do limits. calc 2 is supposed to be the hardest of the three, i wouldn't know because i changed majors after calc 1 :D
I'm currently in my 3rd year through my EE degree.
Math Classes I've taken so far: Vector Geometry - easy Linear Algebra - easy Calc 1 and 2 - easy Multivariable Calc - Jump in difficulty from calc 1/2 was pretty tough for me, but I managed to get by Differential Equations - It's pretty hard at first, but it just takes lots of repetition to figure out how to solve problems Linear Signals and Systems - Damn hard (taking it now)
Problem with EE is that you'll still be programming somewhat. Class I'm having the most problem right now is MicroProcessor System Design, where you program in assembly/C. At this point we're expected to know C, C++, and how to code in a program called MATLAB.
yao ming. yao ming yao ming yao ming. yao ming. yao ming
calc 2 was the toughest for me, you just gotta suck it up and not have a life for a while. anyways my roomate is doin EE ill talk to him about it, hes in his last semester and hes hardly ever outside his room :-/
Both majors will have you go through the same classes for the most part (in your first year or two, depending on the school's program). EE gets into more math/physics oriented concepts, while CE will focus more on logic and programming.
both have similar math requirements as far as I know, a bunch of calc and MAYBE discrete math
calc 1 is usually techniques of differentiation and integration, limits calc 2 introduces some more advanced integration techniques, lot of sequences and series/Riemann summations calc 3 is just a lot of integration i think? and discrete math is just a bunch of annoying equations
CT/CS shouldn't really be 2 years of just coding, unless you go to a really lame school... for my BS degree in comp sci only the first semester or two was coding, everything else after that is theoretical computing and stuff... algorithms, architecture and OS design, heuristics, etc...
and sh itcan your whining i have to take every math class ever even if i drop my double math major: linear algebra which is easy at least, discrete analysis, complex variables, more analysis, probability/stats, numerical methods...not to mention the capstone
it's not even difficult, really, it's just boring... i don't even perform up to my ability in most of my CS classes because i just get bored to death all the time. i always start off motivated and then it burns out quickly.
ed: on second thought this kid is pretty retarded.

motiv will quick scope in middle in record 0.03 seconds citing superman vision as his special power
Does your College or University have a counseling staff or some sort of service to help students with these issues? I mean usually someone who has any sort of intelligence wouldn't come to Gotfrag? to find the answers to such important questions. However, that's just me.

CT or Electrical Engineering
I didn't know if anyone has had this sort of experience?
I just don't understand coding, at least I don't think I can finish 2 years of it.
Anyone know what sort of Math classes are required for Electrical Engineering and how they are?
If you don't understand coding, or can't stand 2 years of it just talk to a counselor.
Math Classes I've taken so far:
Vector Geometry - easy
Linear Algebra - easy
Calc 1 and 2 - easy
Multivariable Calc - Jump in difficulty from calc 1/2 was pretty tough for me, but I managed to get by
Differential Equations - It's pretty hard at first, but it just takes lots of repetition to figure out how to solve problems

Expect work. Lots of it. The work won't be easy either.

LOOK AT HOW MISERABLE THAT IS

I'm going to agree with #27.
Take plumbing.
#28, smoke after you complete your homework :P
