SUMMARY

The forum discussion revolves around users sharing their fall 2015 class schedules, highlighting a diverse range of courses primarily in physics, engineering, and mathematics. Key courses mentioned include "Quantum Mechanics," "Differential Equations," "Electromagnetics," and various labs such as "Microprocessors Lab" and "Electronics Lab." Many participants express excitement about their upcoming semesters, with start dates predominantly on August 24th or September 1st. The discussion emphasizes the importance of foundational courses like "Calculus" and "Physics" for future academic success.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of core physics concepts such as "Electromagnetism" and "Quantum Mechanics."
  • Familiarity with advanced mathematics, including "Differential Equations" and "Linear Algebra."
  • Knowledge of programming basics, particularly in languages like "Java" and "Python."
  • Awareness of engineering principles related to "Microprocessors" and "Circuit Analysis."
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Quantum Mechanics" and its applications in modern physics.
  • Explore "Differential Equations" and their role in engineering and physics problems.
  • Learn about "Electromagnetics" and its significance in telecommunications and signal processing.
  • Investigate "Microprocessor Design" and its implications in computer engineering.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for undergraduate students in physics, engineering, and mathematics, as well as educators and academic advisors looking to understand course offerings and student interests in STEM fields.

I'm starting with my bachelor thesis on topological insulators right now. The next semester begins in the 2nd or 3rd week of october, but i don't think that i'll be finished by then, so i probably won't be taking more than two or maximum three classes, specifically:
1. Advanced quantum mechanics
2. Solid state theory
3. Algebraic topology from the math department (if my schedule allows it)

I start on September 9th. In a way it's my third year, despite being a forth year student because of how the rotation works. I have already done every 4000 level course available at my university.

Fall

Analog Electronics
Statistical Thermodynamics
Complex Variables
Differential Equations 2
Problem Solving
Directed Studies

and I guess I will add in the winter courses too:

Winter
Digital Electronics
Advanced Mechanics
Materials
Euclidean Geometry
Directed Studies cont.

It was just confirmed that I'm accepted for the university of Tehran particle physics master's program. I should register next week. Classes will begin at 12th September. Surely don't have my schedule now, before registration. But its easy to guess:

Advanced Quantum Mechanics I
Advanced Statistical Mechanics I
Electrodynamics I (The undergrad course is called Electromagnetism)
Advanced Elementary Particle Physics I (not sure about this one)
