How fucked am I this semester and next semester

Most intro to differential equations courses don't use 3D calculus at all.

Linear algebra does make Calc 3 a little easier, but not as much as you'd think.

You'll be fine.

What the fuck are you taking this semester then? Gendet studies?

linear algebra is far from necessary to pass calc 3

Differential Equations

I took DE before Calc 3. I think differential equations are really their own seperate subject - not only an application of calculus, but something much more different (god dammit I can't think of a better word here). They're both about the same level of difficulty, but I found DE much more fascinating than later calculus classes. Also, finishing one doesn't necessarily prepare you for the other class. Contrary to what you might think, DE actually has very little to do with traditional calculus.

I never took linear algebra. Many uni majors include DE and calculus but not linear algebra. I've never actually seen it required except for math and comp sci majors.

Wait wtf is calc 3 then? I always thought Americans just called their undergrad DE's course calc 3.
I'm not really sure how you can get a proper treatment of DE's without linear algebra.

Multivariable calculus

Actually linear algebra doesn't teach you anything; you just memorize a couple processes and reuse them with different definitions throughout the entire course.
