I'm an upper division physics transfer student and currently deciding on whether I should take a course in numerical methods for physical modelling or basic into to analogue circuits course. Here are there descriptions: math 174 - Floating point arithmetic, direct and iterative solution of...

MidgetDwarf, I'm not looking for a career in physics. I'm just interested in the subject. I think you did get a little too personal with your response.

What?

I'm about to transfer from a community college over to a university this semester for physics. I've completed all lower division physics and math courses and of course, I missed the deadline to apply for vast majority of physics related internships I could get. Add to that the fact that there...

Well when I took my previous physics course it was my only STEM course for the semester and I by no means breezed through the subject. And that was twice as long as this summer course. But I never was forced, or forced myself, to practice and contemplate the subject everyday, it was definitely...

REPLY: I'm a hard working student with about average 'natural' ability. I'm not one of those who can breeze by and make an A with little effort. If I took this class, I would have no other commitments (class or work).

At my community college, the first calculus based physics courses (the predecessor to modern physics) are split into 3 semesters: mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodyamics/light. As long as you take the mechanics part first, you can choose which one to take next. This summer session is 8...
