Multivariable Calculus Vs differential calculus?

You NEED differential AND Integral calculus or you WILL FAIL.

Multivariable Calculus is differential and Integral calculus with more than one variable. So you can't do more than one variable if you can't do one.

Multivariable Differential Calculus

I was going to say that it is possible you could pass if you were exceedingly drone like as a student and took everything everybody said without question and as fact, but really that does not even help you. Anyone would be beyond confused in this course if they do not understand what a derivative is, let alone an integral. Some of the course is vectors, but the rest is a challenge of if you can really understand the calculus enough to write down and figure out which integral is the relevant one necessary for particular applications. Can you do that? Probably not if you do not even understand integrals. Even students that have taken calc 1 and 2 barely grasp the idea, calc 3 can be a very difficult class if your university is hard enough. It just is not going to work out though for most anyone. Figure out your schedule and make some sacrifices, failing a class would be silly this early on.

It's Not a good idea - I repeat, Not a good idea - to take Multivariable Calculus before Calculus I. If you don't know Single Variable Calculus, chances are you won't be able to do well in Multivariable Calculus. It is plain and obvious that Single Variable Calculus is the prerequisite for Multivariable Calculus

By differential calculus, do you mean differential equations or calculus I or II?

If you mean calculus I or II, then it is highly recommended that you take those before multivariable calculus. If the last class you had was precalculus, then I don't think you should take multivariable calculus. You build off of everything you learn in calculus 1 and 2.

Once you've had calculus 2, it does not matter whether you take multivariable or differential equations first.or You NEED differential AND Integral calculus or you WILL FAIL.

I have taken differential, Integral, and multivariable Calculus. Also called Calculus I, II, & III

You need Calc 1 (Differential) and Calc 2 (Integral) in order to understand Calc 3 (Multivariable). Unless you learned how to integrate in your Precalc class, I suggest you take both Calc 1 and 2, before taking Calc 3. If you think you're really good at differentiation, optimization, related rates, you might be able to skip Calc 1, but definitely not Calc 2.
