[Cyrus]

2 math courses and aerospace course for audit.

...lots of choices. I am really looking forward to a semester of just applied math, but a bit nervous as its been almost 2.5 years since my last math course!

Im sure I forgot a lot of very BASIC stuff.

 

[Winzer]

Those look like some fun courses!

 

[dontdisturbmycircles]

Calc III
Electromagnetism
Design course

C++ course

Shouldn't be too bad at all :-).

[binzing]

Theres a course out our high school called "Lifetime Leisure" so yeah Moose, there's some weird ones out there.

I'm really looking forward to this term - all the courses look very interesting - let's hope they are!

 

[Defennder]

Whats Analytic Dynamics?

These courses look very interesting. I am going to miss linear algebra next semester.

 

[Winzer]

I really enjoyed E&M/optics and Calc III(vector calc is the bomb)

I'm jelous morphism, except the French

 

[jostpuur]

I haven't decided all courses for sure yet, but these ones are absolute:

General Relativity (finally!)
String Theory
Algebraic Topology
Real Analysis

 

[Andre]

stable isotope physics
hydrology
glaciology
radiometric dating

but that's free time

 

[Winzer]

General Relativity (finally!)
String Theory

Real Analysis

General Relativity sounds like fun, i wonder what the math prereqs are?

 

[scorpa]

Just because I have to be different:

Pathogenic Microbiology
Clinical Biochemistry
Hemostasis
Transfusion Medicine
Physiology
Histology

 

[dontdisturbmycircles]

I really enjoyed E&M/optics and Calc III(vector calc is the bomb)

I am actually trying to get a head start on the vector calc right now. :) I breezed through partial derivs and multi integrals (without doing many application type chapters) in 7 days so that I could do VC.

 

[DeadWolfe]

I'm also jealous of morphism.

 

[z-component]

Dynamics
Mechanical Response of Engineering Materials
Experimental Determination of Mechanical Response of Materials
Introduction to Thermal Science
Ordinary Differential Equations
Food Science

 

[arunma]

I've got these:

Quantum Mechanics II
Particle/Nuclear Physics
Statistical Mechanics

The joys of grad school: only three classes, and not one of them is liberal arts! Too bad the homework will take 170 hours per week.

 

[Physics_UG]

2 math courses and aerospace course for audit.

I assume this is a joke...

 

[Physics_UG]

I am taking later shakespeare, senior projects II, and quantum mechanics. yay for my final year.

 

[mbrmbrg]

Logic
Classical Mechanics
Women in the Bible
Hebrew Conversation
General Chemistry II
Thermodynamics
Physics Colloquium (OK, so it's not a class. But I get credits for it!)

 

[Winzer]

Quantum Mechanics II
Particle/Nuclear Physics
Statistical Mechanics

Statistical I here is very interesting and math intensive. I will eventually take it.

I am actually trying to get a head start on the vector calc right now. :) I breezed through partial derivs and multi integrals (without doing many application type chapters) in 7 days so that I could do VC.

Vector Calc isn't hard at all, but it is very fun and interesting. Go Stokes and Guass!
I have also covered all my course material up until spring break, so I am good to go.

 

[arunma]

Statistical I here is very interesting and math intensive. I will eventually take it.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I took statistical in undergrad, but I didn't understand that much. Basically everyone in my class has the same experience: we all took it in undergrad, got A's, and didn't have a clue what was going on. I'm hoping that I'll get more out of it as a grad student. What I really want to know is how you can figure out everything about a system just by knowing that magical "partition function."

 

[ranger]

I've got quite a semester to look forward to.

Signals and Systems
Component and Subsystem Design I
Computer Controlled Systems Design I
Computer Architecture and Organization II
Engineering Ethics
Macroeconomics

 

[Winzer]

I have taken Macroeconomics & Microeconomics, both I thought to be fun. Economics is a very interesting field and can be difficult. There are two economics books I have been planning to read:
1. Adam Smith- "Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
2. John Maynard Keynes- " The Economics Consquences of Peace" not sure when released.

 

[Winzer]

Has anyone taken analog circuits?

 

[ranger]

Has anyone taken analog circuits?

Whats the course description like?

 

[binzing]

My dad went back to school this fall to get into engineering (something he'd left 20 years ago) and had analog circuits or a very similar class. He ended up getting out of it because Dynamics (his other class) was requiring more work.

 

[Winzer]

Whats the course description like?

"Introduction to methods of electronics measurements, particularly the application of oscilloscopes and computer based data acquisition. Laboratory experiments in the use of basic electronic for physical measurements. Topics covered include diodes, transistors (FET and BJT), operational amplifiers, filters, transducers, and integrated circuits. Emphasis on practical knowledge, including prototyping, troubleshooting, and laboratory notebook style."

Yes, I've had a similar course. Although measurements and data acquisition was covered in a separate course. And the latter part of the description was another course by itself.

Enjoy your semester.

Has anyone taken analog circuits?

I just took a course called "Introduction to Laboratory Electronics" that sounds very similar to the one you've described. I went into it a bit nervous, as I knew very little about circuitry, but I didn't want to leave it! It was so much fun playing with breadboards and you get to learn lots of cool things in that course. I had no idea you could use op amps to solve differential equations! Not saying you'll love it but it was a lot more interesting than I expected.
