I just finished calculus 1&2 and apparently this is the next math class i'm getting. What can I expect of it in terms of difficulty compared to calculus and what are some of the things I should watch out for?

Beginning will be a bit tedious as you need to do stuff by hand before you can use a calculator. After that it's a cake walk. It's super powerful stuff even though basic. Watch out for MV Calc though that's a tough cookie.

Yeah, as >>7425773 said, it's pretty easy when you start, but the tough stuff begins when you get into vector fields. Then it gets incredibly abstract. So you'd better pay attention and make sure you know what's going on when you get to that point.

Good luck.

Do lots of practice problems, make sure you know how to do every question assigned. Paul's online math notes

Thanks for the answers guys, sounds like it could be fun although the word ''abstract'' does scare the living shit out of me.

Kek, none of multivariate calculus is abstract. See: physics, specifically E&M at the level of Purcell or Griffiths.

Paul's Online Math Notes are amazing. OP, remember this.
