Unless you were given varying information for each case, you'd need to look those μ values up in a table

Could the plane be assumed frictionless?

t' = γt

Okay, basic E&M. Electric fields, magnetic fields, circuits, Gauss' Law, Faraday's Law, etc

Alright well if you're so dead set on getting ahead in physics, learn calculus and classical mechanics first. Then worry about the rest

What's your level of education?

I'd recommend just looking at the wikipedia page for each of them if you're interested in just finding out what they are. And you have several years before you need to worry about which one to 'get a phd' in, as you will be exposed to all of them by the time you finish your b.s. in physics.

Why would you have to study any of these before undergrad?

Update: It's now morning, and I'm no longer lazy. I can't figure out how to delete/edit the above post, but I do want to hear some insight on how significant this may or may not be, and when we might know more.

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FJHEP02%282016%29104I don't know what most of this means, but maybe somebody wants to discuss it? (Also, if someone could dumb it down a tad, I'd appreciate it)

So Calc I covers everything from basic derivatives and integrals through Taylor/Maclaurin series? And Calc II is Multivariable/Vector Calc?

Modesty, yeah it sounds like it is grad level QM. Vanadium, really? I'm not sure if that's reassuring or daunting. When do they take Calc III? And wow, they don't mess around. Is there any reason they do 2 semester of QM before classical? I'd always thought you learned classical first then QM...

A full year of quantum & classical? I'm only a freshman in the physics program at my school, but we only require a semester each. Can you take PDE as soon as you take ODE? What did your Modern Physics cover?

I've looked at various universities' undergraduate physics programs and they're often vastly different in both courses offered and order presented. This thread is mostly just to hear others' opinions about what order the courses should be presented, and what courses undergrad physics majors...

That's fair. By the end of this semester I'll have covered math through Calc III, Physics I & II, Mechanical Engineering Design, Chemistry, Economics, and various required humanities. Very little background in python, and some web design but not enough to put on my resume. And I intend to do...
