Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around course schedules for the Fall 2007 semester at the University of Arizona. Participants share their planned classes, including MATH223 (Vector Calculus), PHYS151 (Intro to Mechanics), and various advanced courses in physics and engineering. Many students express concerns about late classes and the challenges of balancing their schedules. The conversation also touches on personal experiences with different class timings and the impact on study habits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of university-level mathematics, specifically calculus and linear algebra.
  • Familiarity with physics concepts, particularly mechanics and advanced topics.
  • Knowledge of academic scheduling and course load management.
  • Basic awareness of university course structures and requirements.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective time management strategies for balancing late classes.
  • Explore resources for mastering advanced physics topics, such as E&M and Quantum Mechanics.
  • Investigate study techniques specific to engineering and mathematics courses.
  • Look into academic support services available at universities for course planning and tutoring.
USEFUL FOR

Students at the University of Arizona, prospective engineering and physics majors, and anyone looking to optimize their course schedules and study strategies.

For my first semester at the University of Arizona
---------------------------------
MATH223 - Vector Calculus
PHYS151 - Intro to Mechanics
ENGL101 - First Year Composition
TRAD104 - Science and Inquiry
---------------------------------
14 credits

I'm thinking about adding a German class onto that...

Also, my schedule is really weird... I have a lab 4:00-6:50 on Monday and the english class TR 5:00-6:15... Anyone have any experience with classes this late?

This is the Graph of my schedule

Do you live near campus? If so, I don't think that schedule is too bad. I've taken night classes, personally I don't like them, but I live far from campus so I either have to stay on campus for a long time, or waste time going back and forth from campus.

I'm taking (barring any unforeseen incidents):

-Topology (Munkres)
-Probability (Casella)
-Advanced Data Analysis (Using Minitab)
-Some core class (either Intro Microeconomics, Intro Sociology, or Psych Stats) depends on the professors and syllabus.

The best part of this schedule: all my classes are on Tuesday and Thursday!
 
Linear Algebra
Intro to Mathematical Biology
Second Semester Statistics
Organic Chemistry (with lab)
Other classes (Design Process and Directed Studies)
 
hopefully

linear algebra
intro to modern physics
some other math class
programming 1 or intro circuit analysis
 
-Vehicle Dynamics
-Flight Dynamics
-Aircraft Flight Testing
-Computer-Aided Design (8:00 am, DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIT)
-Integrated Product and Process Development (Senior Project course, one semester)



Then I am finally done with school, THANK GOD!

Assuming all goes well I will be taking:

- Clinical Chemistry with lab
- Pathogenic Microbiolgy with lab
- Hematology with lab
- Physiology
- An arts option I may or may not bother with...I hate them

Winter:
- Hemostasis with lab

How about you combine them--a whimsical observation by you, taken out of context?

What the hell is CP?

EDIT: Are you talking about UMD? As much as I wanted to go there, it's just not worth spending 3 or 4 times the money on.

eh, I'm just taking it out of interest to be honest with you :P
 
  • #15
hmmm...

Analytical Mechanics
Senior Projects 1
History of Space Exploration
World Masterpieces 2
Advanced Computer Apps for EEs

that's it. yay for putting off my humanities elective until the last year. :mad:

Yeah, its hella expensive out of state.

I would have chosen UMich over UMD anyway :biggrin:... Same problem though. I would probably be willing to pay that much more for Cornell or MIT, but not those.

dude i was about to be like how do you get to take all physics classes in high school then i checked your profile

You're finishing in the fall, cyrusabdollahi? And are you doing an aerospace engineering type specialization with Mech. E?

Congrats man!

I only have a year left! I'm excited.

Thats the plan. I am just a regular ole ME. We have to take at least two courses outside our major, 7 electives total. So I am taking 3 aerospace courses since I am applying to Aerospace graduate school. (Id have to take those courses if I got accepted into Grad school anyways, so it kills two boeings with one bird strike).
 
  • #22
Did you take Aerodynamics yet Z-component?
 
  • #23
Not yet. I'm taking regular old Statics and Structures of Materials next semester (a 5 credit course--of course I have the option of splitting them up into two 3 credit courses). Aerodynamics for me comes 5th semester, and I'm going to my 3rd.
 
  • #24
When you take it, buy this book.

1c4d224128a055efb11fa010._AA240_.L.jpg


Its by A professor here at my school, and is almost a bible when it comes to Aerodynamics. Its the best book you will ever read. Anderson's book is amazing on the subjet. 10x better than my fluid mechanics book. I sent him an email because I want to ask him some questions on parts he wrote. Hopefully if he's back on campus I can meet up with him in his office. He works also at the Smithsonian and is semi-retired I think. Hes Professor Emeritus.
 
  • #25
Energy Systems/Power Electronics -yuck

Management/Strategey for Nonmajors -blah yuck blah blah
 
  • #26
Functional Analysis
Fields & Galois Theory
Game Theory
Macroeconomics 2
Statistics (ugh)
 
  • #27
A couple of weeks before school starts, I'm taking a geophysics field course

Then (might have to rearrange some stuff)

Fall term
Plate Tectonic Theory, Environments and Products (should have taken it 2 years ago)
Stratigraphy and Sedimentology
Physics of the Earth I
Film Studies (need an arts credit)
Planetary Sciences Research Project

Winter term
Film Studies continued
Planetary Sci. Research Project continued
Physics of the Earth II
Quantum Mechanics
Planetary Image Interpretation

And then I graduate! Wicked.
 
  • #28
Something to the effect of:

Physics Lab 1
Chemistry 1
Calculus 1
Fundamentals of Engineering

Those are the interesting ones, at least.
 
  • #29
My courses this Fall are:

Advanced Electricity and Magnetism
Quantum Physics 1
Mathematical Methods for Scientists (my only undergraduate course this Fall)
Research Seminar
Oral Communication Skills for Physics (basically a first year grad student's "how to speak in public" course)

And then there's the courses I'll have to teach as a TA. Not sure what I get, but I'm hoping it'll be calculus-based physics 1.
 
  • #30
I will be taking:
Quantum Mechanics A
Intermediate E&M
Advanced Physics Lab
Particle/Nuclear Physics
General Relativity
Optics or Religious Ethics(multicultural requirement) or Spanish 3

If I can manage 18 credits the next 2 semesters I can graduate!:-p
