[drkatzin]

Spring 2011 (subject to change):

8.06 Quantum Physics III
8.962 General Relativity
18.112 Complex Analysis
6.002 Circuit Analysis/Design
21M.351 Music Composition Seminar
+research in plasma physics

 

[clope023]

It looks like mine is going to be:

Electronics II + lab
Partial Differential Equations
Probability and Stats for Engineers
Modern Physics II + lab

If it was just the lectures, I wouldn't be really worried but I know from experience with the first parts of Electronics and Modern Physics that the labs are very time consuming so I'm not sure whether to ask to leave those out and do them another semester or drop one class so i have more time to give to each class.

[drkatzin]

Do you go to MIT?

Yep.

 

[greentlc]

Second semester, first year mechanical engineering:

Calculus for Mechanical
Engineering Graphics 2
Engineering Materials 2
Engineering Mechanics 2 ( 1 was statics, 2 is dynamics)

[Chaostamer]

I posted here last month, but now I'm three days into my semester and my schedule is finalized.

General Topology
Linear Algebra II
Graph Theory
Statistical Theory II
Independent research (Ramsey theory)

All I can really say at this point is that Topology is hard!

 

[Craigsly]

You guys make me feel so unintelligent with your crazy math classes haha but here goes:

Statistical Mechanics
Thermodynamics/Kinetics
Quantum Chemistry
Cell Biology
Computer Science I

 

[DR13]

Physics E&M (200 level) with Lab
Differential Equations (200 level)
Intro to Engineering: Design Course (100 level)
Undergraduate Research

15 credits. Not too bad. I'm a first year if that wasnt obvious already haha. My schedule is about the same as last semester and I got a 3.8 then so I am hoping to continue that :)

 

[jgm340]

I'm currently registered for:

Complex Variables II
Differential Geometry II
Basic Probability
Functional Analysis
Philosophy of Mind
Advanced Logic

I'm actually really excited for all my courses this semester!

It's going to be so much work, though. I'll have to be sure to devote sufficient time to each course, and not push any to the back burner. But I'm glad to finally be moving towards good study habits as a sophomore.

 

[Dougggggg]

My schedule has undergone some changes.
(credit hours)
HPE 1500-Health and Wellness (2)
MAT 1400-Perspectives in Math (1)
MAT 1520-Calculus II (4)
MAT 2600-Intro to Abstract Math (3)
MAT 3020-Differential Equations (not for credit, auditing)
PHY 2120-General Physics II (4)
PHY 2130-Statics (3)
PHY 4340-Research Project in Physics (1)

I love how my schedule is all math and physics, excluding health and wellness. Should be a fun semester.

 

[sydneyfranke]

Calculus 1552 (II)
Physics 2101 (I)
Biology 1001
American History 2057 (post civil war)
Computer Science 2533

16 hours so far. Wait listed for a Construction Management. That'll bump me up to 18.

 

[Dougggggg]

Is it just me or has anyone noticed despite the difficulty of the courses, most Math and/or Physics majors will take 18 hours of classes on a consistent basis?

Seriously, since I picked up Math and Physics I have not taken less than 18 hours in a semester.

 

[sydneyfranke]

It's cause we all can count and realize that if we take more hours we can finish sooner! The way I see it is if I want to be an engineer, I should go ahead and get used to the pressure! :)

It's cause we have balls. I had 21 credits last semester and I'm getting 20 this semester.

 

[Skrew]

heh, I question the truth of some of these courseloads.

But assuming they are true, do those taking it feel they can actually spend sufficient time on each subject to throughly understand it?

 

[dkotschessaa]

I'm starting off easy (14 credits) since I haven't been to school in awhile, but I can easily see doing more. I've been having a blast being back at school. Can't do much math until I get past Calc II anyway.

Last time I was in school I was a music major, and usually had 25-28 credits. I guess some of these crazy schedules I'm seeing here aren't too crazy.

[Dougggggg]

I was going to do 19 this semester, including a gen ed english course. Then I saw the syllabus had about 2-3 papers a week and I decided to pass that one up. Now back down to 18 after a few other changes. However, I am also auditing another course on top of that.

 

[ECmathstudent]

Hey, probably a lighter course-load than most of you guys it seems, but here it is;

Real Analysis-300 level
Abstract Algebra II-400 level
Intermediate Calc II-200 level
Roman Civ.-200 level

 

[Chaostamer]

Real Analysis-300 level
Abstract Algebra II-400 level
Intermediate Calc II-200 level
Roman Civ.-200 level

So, Real Analysis is self-explanatory and I'm assuming Abstract Algebra II covers material like advanced ring theory, fields, and introductory Galois theory (at least that's the gist of the syllabus at my university), but what exactly is Intermediate Calc II?

 

[ECmathstudent]

Abstract algebra is ring theory, and Intermediate calc two would probably be called vector calculus at most schools.

 

[Chaostamer]

Abstract algebra is ring theory, and Intermediate calc two would probably be called vector calculus at most schools.

Is your Abstract Algebra I strictly group theory, then?
