I'd say it's easier then MAT215, but harder then all the other MAT series.

It's about 3d Differential Equations, its not hard...its a lot of steps and tricks, if you get a good teacher it's a cake walk. If you get a bad teacher, you're forced to read the difficult concepts and try and make sense of them on your own... the steps are easy, but the concepts are hard. If that makes sense?

If you're taking MAT216 as an elective... since it's 3d differential equations it probably won't help you in life much though, it would make sense if it's required by your major to take it... then you'd actually use it, otherwise like other maths it'll just disappear.

Hope that helps!
