A buddy of mine is currently in theoretical, I had him send a picture of his syllabus:
"This course is designed to equip physics and pre-engineering majors with the computational
tools required for success in the demanding final two years of their degree work.
It is intended as a complement and...
I have absolutely no idea if it differs from school to school or not.
Here, theoretical was 90% an advanced math course. There was a minimal physical aspect to the course. It more or less helped build up out mathematical weapons arsenal.
Every school has that filter class, eh? Ours was Physics II, which would be an upper level E&M course at most other places. lol
Modern physics is definitely not Physics I and II. Modern is essentially a mix of relativity and quantum.
Depends on how much you value sleep and a social life.
You will have zero free time. Linear is downright easy. Diff eq. isn't bad. Theoretical can be a slightly difficult or a complete jerk, depending on your math skills going into it. Modern is incredibly time-intensive.
I'd advise against...
I'll keep it short and sweet.
- Planning on going into the field of astrophysics. That's all I know for now.
- As of now, I'm going to graduate this December with a bachelor's degree in physics.
- If I stay an extra semester, I can also obtain a bachelor's in math.
- Already in debt.
- Living...
I was initially going to school to be a math major. I didn't have any issues with the difficulty of the classes, however they were boring the hell out of me and I just wasn't enjoying it. So, I've decided to switch it up.
Here's the deal. I could just switch to a physics degree at my current...
