What's on Your Fall 2010 Science Schedule?

[Jack21222]

Apologies if this is a little early. I don't know what other universities are doing, but mine just opened up Fall 2010 registration to the masses (Honors college could do it earlier).

Anyway, here's mine:

Modern Physics
Intermediate Lab Physics
Mechanics (the upper-division version)
General Chemistry 1
Directed Readings (working one-on-one with a professor that wants me to help him with research, they recommend "getting our feet wet" with the directed readings before jumping into research)

How about you guys?

 

[Agent M27]

I am taking the following, it is going to be rough...

Physics 2 with lab
Gen Chem 2 with lab
Engineering Calc 2
Archeo Astronomy

Will begin research with my calc professor on wavelet transforms during the fall as well at around 10 hours per week. It is going to be tough, but I am excited!

Russian
One of these: representation theory, knot theory, Riemann surfaces

 

[l'Hôpital]

Real Analysis I
Graduate Algebra I
Graduate Complex Variables I
Graduate Multilinear Algebra/Tensor Geometry (seminar course with my research advisor in the same subject)

[y0tsubato]

Advanced Calculus
Thermodynamics
Waves and Optics
Mathematical Physics

The mathematical physics course is a 6000 level course that I got special permission to take, so I'm very excited about it.

That's great to hear--I'm excited for you!

If all goes well during the summer sessions (precalc I and II), it will be:

[zpconn]

A putnam prep course

Aerobic Walking - seriously. I have to have a PE credit to graduate...am I in college or 4th grade?

My school requires us to take two P.E. style classes--and they are worth zero credit hours.

But they're not that bad, and it is nice to have a formal obligation to exercise, actually.

 

[Leptos]

Intro Discrete Math
Linear Algebra I
Multivariate Calculus
Calcphysics I + lab
Calcphysics II + lab

Not sure if taking Calcphysics I and II is a good idea, but I'll manage.

 

[Troponin]

That's great to hear--I'm excited for you!

If all goes well during the summer sessions (precalc I and II), it will be:

Calculus I
Physics I
C++

Hope you enjoy the courses!
Especially the C++. I'm doing two research projects this summer where I'm expected to program...I really wish I had taken C++...or any programming course. lol

Hey! Maybe we'll have Chem II Lab together?

 

[NukeEmAll]

Transferring into the junior year of a nuclear engineering program from a community college...

Radiation Interaction I
Introduction to Nuclear and Radiological Engineering
Statics

It's only 15 credits but some of these things look pretty crazy and I'm not too sure what to expect from any of these classes...

 

[flemmyd]

Graduate inorganic chemistry
Graduate intro to QM (Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics through the chem department)
Biological structure determination (using nmr and x-ray crystal to find out the structure of biological molecules. not interesting in bio, but still good to learn structure determination and the theory behind it i guess)

all you crazy engineers/math/physics majors. good to see another discipline represented.

 

[danielatha4]

Advanced Introductory physics 2 with lab
Intro Linear Algebra
Multivariable Calculus

[ctg7w6]

Pretty full schedule:

Summer 2010:
Calc III (Multivariate Calculus)

Fall 2010:
Differential Equations

Classical Mechanics (senior level)
Intro to Modern Physics (Junior level)
Cosmochemistry

I may change the cosmochemistry to something like biological physics, but the others are pretty much definite. I am scared about two upper level math classes and mechanics in the same semester though!

This is my first post on PF after a long time of lurking! Hello all!

 

[Metis]

Nothing personal, but I don't understand some of these schools pre-reqs if what you guys are saying have actually been checked by an advisor.
Taking Calc II concurrently with Cal III??
Classical mechanics without/concurrent with differential equations?!?

 

[wisvuze]

whoa , you guys are already picking Fall 2010 courses :| ?

 

[TMM]

Yay sophomore year! No more gen ed requirements!

real analysis
general topology
graduate algebra
graduate quantum mechanics
graduate stat mech

When I say graduate I mean what 1st year grad students take to pass their quals.

I love this place. :]

 

[Alienjoey]

Honors Physics III (Modern Physics)
Diff Eqs
Computer Based Experimentation
Mechanics

And a music theory class lol. I wanted to take Geometry or Number Theory, but neither fit in my schedule. Fine by me though, I can take them later on instead.

 

[Landau]

Don't know yet for sure, but I'm thinking of:

Algebraic Topology
Representation Theory
Symplectic Geometry
Functional Analysis

Still in doubt about physics...general relativity and quantum field theory are tempting courses!

 

[kbaumen]

Mathematics 3 (partial derivatives, multiple integrals, ordinary differential equations)
Analogue Electronics
Digital Electronics
Circuit Analysis
Heat & Flow 2
Dynamics
Engineering Design & Manufacture
Labs in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

If timetable allows, electromagnetism and QM from the physics department

This is in UK, not the states.

 

[winowmak3r]

Summer 2010:
1st Half
Calc I
General Chemistry II
2nd Half
CalcII

Fall 2010:

University Physics I (physics majors section) + Lab
Intro Astronomy + Lab (Really excited about this one, even though it probably won't be too difficult. I've been interested in astronomy since like 2nd grade)
Computer Science I + Lab (I've never heard of a comp sci lab class before...)
Multivariate Calc/Matrices

Summer is 16 total credits and Fall is 17. I've a pretty sweet setup with my summer job. I ride a desk in the computer lab on campus, which equals me getting paid to do homework in the summer time.

Anyone have any experiences with Computer Science Labs? It's 1 day a week, out of the three a week that the class meets. I assume it's something like actually working on computers during lab day and then in some lecture hall the other two days. I'm not sure where the rooms are yet as I'm just transferring to this school.

 

[sydneyfranke]

Let's see here . . .

Summer 2010

[Thermalne]

Transferring into the junior year of a nuclear engineering program from a community college...

Radiation Interaction I
Introduction to Nuclear and Radiological Engineering
Statics
Computer Programming and Lab (Fortran)
Nuclear Engineering Analysis I

It's only 15 credits but some of these things look pretty crazy and I'm not too sure what to expect from any of these classes...

What college are you transferring into?

I'm transferring into University of Tennessee at Knoxville and I still have a LOT of prereqs to finish. (Yet I can still take junior level classes next semester)

Looks like a few classes I am taking.

General Chemistry
Computer Methods in Engineering Problem Solving
Physics for Engineers I
Introduction to Nuclear and Radiological Engineering
Circuits and Electro Mechanical Components
Thermodynamics

I'm not exactly sure what I am taking, but this is roughly what I am going to.

 

[uman]

Abstract Algebra

C Programming and Unix
Machine Organization and Assembly Language
Chinese (third semester)
Physics (first semester, with lab)

 

[lordkelvin]

Linear Algebra

Theoretical Mechanics I
Electricity and Magnetism I
Optics
maybe Intro to Computer Science as well, but I'm afraid that I might lack time to study for mechanics and e and m if I increase my class load any more. I'm not quite sure whether I should go for an area of emphasis in computational physics or not; now is the time I would have to start taking computer science classes in order to be able to finish the area of emphasis.

This summer I've got calc III and differential equations.
