AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of taking Calculus III, Physics II, Digital Logic, and Circuit Analysis at a new school. Participants confirm that Physics II is indeed calculus-based, focusing on electromagnetism (E&M). There is also clarification that Calculus III can vary between engineering and pure math versions, which impacts the difficulty level. Overall, the consensus is that, given the right preparation and mindset, managing this course load is achievable for students.

Is Calc three, physics 2, digital logic and circuit analysis to much just starting at a new school? Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Is Physics 2 calc-based E&M?

Also, is Calc 3 the engineering version or pure math version?

The aforesaid makes a different IMO.

If the answer to the 2 questions above is YES I would say it is definitely doable.
 
The answer is yes. Thanks!
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
