AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a college in California or nearby states that offers a summer course equivalent to Physics 4C, which covers topics such as Maxwell's Equations, geometrical optics, electromagnetic radiation, special relativity, quantum physics, and solid-state physics. The user emphasizes the need for a calculus-based course to complete it before the fall semester. They mention UCSD's offerings, specifically Phys 2c (covering waves, optics, and thermodynamics) and Phys 2d (focused on modern physics), which are separate courses available during the summer. The discussion highlights the urgency of finding a suitable course to meet academic requirements.

Hello, I'm looking for a college that offers Physics 4C(or equivalent classes) in this coming summer in CA or nearby states. I did a lot of research, but i didn't find anyone offers it in summer. I have to take it before the fall semester starts. Here is the course description

Has to be calculus based

Physics 4C Light and Modern Physics(3 units)
Maxwell's Equations, geometrical optics; electromagnetic radiation; physical optics;introduction to special relativity; quantum physics; and the physics of atoms, nuclei and the solid state.

please let know asap.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
UCSD Phys 2c: Waves, optics, thermodynamics, weeks 1-5
UCSD Phys 2d: Modern Physics, weeks 6-10.

Two separate courses, both offered I believe.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
