Next semester I plan to take the following courses:
Calculus III: Studies functions of several variables including lines and planes in space, differentiation of functions of several variables, maxima and minima, multiple integration, line integrals, and volume.
Ordinary Differential Equations (for Physics majors): Usually offered in the spring, this course covers the same material as MATH 325 with some additional topics, including an introduction to Sturm-Liouville theory, Fourier series and boundary value problems, and their connection with partial differential equations. Physics majors should enroll in MATH 325P, although no knowledge of physics is assumed.
Introductory Physics II:Gravitation, Oscillations, Waves & Thermodynamics: Second semester of a four-semester sequence for prospective physics and other science majors. Topics include gravitation and Kepler's laws; harmonic motion; thermodynamics; wave motion; sound; optics.
Fundamentals of Scientific Computing: Applications of computers to solving basic problems in physical science. Introduction to programming, use of external libraries, and implementation of basic algorithms with focus on numerical methods, error analysis and data fitting. No previous computer experience is required. One lecture and 2 two-hour lab sessions each week.
Along with these, an English Writing course to get rid of the first writing requirement. This adds up to be 18 credits which sounds like a lot.
This semester I'm enrolled in Calculus II, Elementary Linear Algebra, Introductory Physics I: Mechanics and Special Relativity and Intro to Philosophy. I'm not really feeling particularly challenged by these (a major reason might be I'm already familiar with a lot of the material) and I want to up the ante next semester. I plan to major in Math and/or Physics with a minor in something like Philosophy. I also have the idea of engineering at the back of my head which I'll explore more come sophomore year.
So what are your opinions? Too much? Just okay? Any additions or subtractions?
