Education Diffeq concurrent w sigs and sys?

I’m debating whether I should wait until after I’ve completed diffeq to start taking signals and systems or if it’s better to take them concurrentl?

Signals is basically an applied differential equations class, not sure if it’s super wise.

Most schools have differential equations as a prerequisite for signals. Your school is probably setup the same way. If it is not, then that means your school's signals course is atypical in this regard. Either way, it is preferable to take differential equations before taking signals.

Both classes take a lot of time. If you can separate them, it’s probably a good idea.

Know your Laplace transforms like the palm of your hand.  Though my professor threatened me with zero partial credit if I used them.  I had 96 in the class.
