All of the physics classes I will be taking for undergrad what do you think.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a proposed undergraduate physics course schedule spanning from Spring 2012 to Spring 2015, covering a range of topics including Electromagnetism (E@M), Modern Physics, Quantum Waves, and General Relativity. The poster seeks feedback on whether the selected courses are appropriate for a physics major, expressing concern over the lack of responses and the ambiguity of their initial question. Participants suggest clarifying the inquiry, emphasizing the importance of detailing the full course load and specific concerns, such as whether the curriculum is too rigorous or lacking in certain areas. Additionally, there is a mention of the course description for Quantum Waves, highlighting its prerequisites and the topics covered, which include classical and quantum wave physics, oscillators, and Fourier analysis.

What do you think? These are all of the physics classes I plan to take as an undergraduate.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Oh and my E@M and Wave,Optic,Thermo class has lab.
 
Why no comments.
 
It is likely people haven't responded because your post is quite ambiguous: "what do you think?"

Try defining more clearly what your question is here. And it might help if you post all your courses in a given semester instead of just the physics courses.
 
Am I taking the right classes for a physics major? Am I taking to little to much, am I lacking in something? Stuff like that.
 
isnt this your prescribed coursework verbatim from the school website?
 
Some of it is, but the relativity, particle physics, and cosmology are not.
 
What is the description for quantum waves?
 
Classical and Quantum Waves
PHYS-UA 105 Prerequisite: PHYS-UA 95. Physics majors must also register for PHYS-UA 107. Lecture and recitation. Offered in the spring. 3 points.
Introduction to the physics of classical and quantum waves for students who have had at least one year of college physics and three semesters of calculus or intensive calculus. Topics include linear and nonlinear oscillators, resonance, coupled oscillators, normal modes, mechanical waves, light, matter waves, Fourier analysis, Fourier optics (diffraction), and an introduction to numerical (computer) methods for solving differential equations.
