SUMMARY

Students can take Physics C without completing Physics B, especially if they have a strong foundation in calculus, as Physics C is a calculus-based course. The discussion highlights that Physics B is often viewed as less relevant for engineering majors. Concurrent enrollment in Calculus 1 and 2 at a community college provides the necessary mathematical background to succeed in Physics C. It is essential to self-study any topics not covered in Physics C to ensure comprehensive understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Calculus 1 and 2 concepts
  • Familiarity with basic physics principles
  • Knowledge of engineering fundamentals
  • Ability to self-study advanced physics topics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum of Physics C to identify key topics
  • Explore self-study resources for advanced physics concepts
  • Investigate the differences between Physics B and C
  • Connect with peers or mentors who have taken Physics C
USEFUL FOR

High school students planning to major in engineering, educators advising students on course selection, and anyone considering advanced physics coursework without prior completion of introductory 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.
