    Fall Schedule
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around students sharing their course schedules for Fall 2010, highlighting a variety of challenging subjects across physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering. Many participants express excitement and apprehension about their upcoming classes, which include advanced topics like Quantum Mechanics, Differential Equations, and various lab courses. Some students are also balancing research commitments alongside their academic load, with projects in areas such as wavelet transforms and nanotechnology. There is a notable emphasis on the rigorous nature of the courses, with several participants questioning the feasibility of taking multiple upper-level classes simultaneously. The conversation reflects a mix of enthusiasm for the subjects and concern about managing the workload, particularly for those also working part-time or involved in extracurricular activities. Overall, the thread captures the academic pressures and aspirations of students in STEM fields as they prepare for a demanding semester.

I'm currently a high school senior (college freshman this coming fall), but if all goes well. . .

Summer 2010
1. Math Methods for Physics (introduction to physics with calculus)
2. Introduction to Psychology

Fall 2010 quarter
1. Mutlivariable Calculus
2. Phyiscs 1 (Mechanics)
3. Computational Methods in Electrial and Computer Engineering
4. Chemistry 1A??
5. GE??

I'm not so sure about this schedule, I've haven't seen my counselor yet.

So many people taking summer classes... ew.

Fall 2010 -
1. Physics 2 w/ Calc (Electricity & Magnetism)
2. Analytical Chemistry
3. Human Physiology
4. Beginning Chinese 1 :D
 
  • #70
Integral Calculus.

But then I work 50+ hours a week, so one course is plenty . . . especially this one.
 
  • #71
Summer 2010 -
doing a research project in nanoscience.

fall 2010 -
Atomic & Molecular Phy
Nuclear Phy
Quantum Mech III (Quant Field Theory) - elective
Analytical Techniques
Intro to Nanoscience
Semiconductor Phy
Physics Lab III - (Optics, Spectroscopy)

also thinking of URA (Undergrad Research) - on nanotubes.

man, that's a hectic sem.
 
  • #72
haha nice thread.

anyway, if I stick with geophysics, here's mine:

Fall 2010
Global Geophysics

That sounds like an interesting semester,
definitely not easy classes, but extremely interesting.

  • #84
UC Berkeley
Summer 2010 (Pre-Freshman):
Math 53 (Multivariable Calc)
Math 54 (Linear Algebra/ Diff Eq.)

Fall 2010 (Freshman):
Physics H7A (Honors course)
Math H110 (Honors Upper Division Linear Algebra)
Psych 2 (Intro to Psychology)
EPS C82 (Intro to Oceans)
German R5A (german literature)

I'm stoked to take an upper division math course as a freshman. If I can maintain this schedule, I can take graduate courses junior year, which'll be amazing.

I also just bought QED by Feynman today, and it'll be an amazing read this weekend.

That is so cool! I'm stoked with you :)
 
  • #86
Mechanics (Phy 303)
Electromagnetic Theory I (Phy 301)
Waves and Optics (Phy 300)
Intro to Linear Algebra (Mat 211)
Formation of Judaic Heritage (JDS 225)

and maybe Physical and Mathematical foundations of Quantum Mechanics (phy 307). it would add up to a lot of credits, but the prereqs are only introductory physics and math, there are no tests, and it will help me with QM next semester. May just sit in on it :)
 
  • #87
1. Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
2. Molecules and Cells
3. Organic Chemistry I
4. Organic Chemistry Lab
5. Intro to Business
