Click For Summary
Students are discussing the possibility of taking Physics C without completing Physics B, particularly for those majoring in engineering. The consensus is that Physics C is calculus-based and may be more beneficial for engineering students, while Physics B is often viewed as less relevant. There are concerns about whether skipping Physics B could impact understanding of key concepts in Physics C. Participants emphasize the importance of being prepared for the calculus-based material in Physics C. Ultimately, the decision to skip Physics B should consider individual readiness and the curriculum requirements of future college courses.

Hi,
I will concurrently attend high school and take Calculus 1 and 2 Honor in community college next year. I know that Physics C is calculus-based course and I have already known it. I'm major in Engineer and want to know if I could skip Physics B and move to C instead. I hear that Physics B is for non-major and also worthless when I move to college. I need everyone's advice about taking Physics C and studying the topic that does not include in this course at the end of the year.
Thank you.

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
