fall quarter schedule thread? lets do this. 1 group and set theory 2 modern algebra 3 linear algebra 4 chem 3 5 applied optics 6 physics undergrad project (self study)
Anyone who has done an undergrad research project, I would like to hear how it went for you. I need to present my advisor with a problem I'm interested in by September 22. Physics/pure math major here
>1 group and set theory >2 modern algebra >3 linear algebra
wat?
Anthony Sanders
The prerequisite for modern algebra is just calc 3, differential equations and group theory. I got my prof to allow me to take modern algebra and group theory concurrently so it all worked out.
Lucas Butler
Same
8min/h
This shit got me
Luke Moore
>group and set theory ...at the same time?? Protip: set theory first, then group theory Source: Abel, Galois, Noether
Mason Rodriguez
its basically an intro to group and set theory.
John Hall
I don't know why I find that that pic so funny
Elijah Garcia
because it says 8mins/hr? thats just fucking hilarious. I'm a grader for some lower division classes and I've seen some answers that are just as funny as this.
Caleb Rivera
My load is pretty light
Calc 3 w/ analytic geometry Linear Algebra Organic Chemistry
It's my first quarter at UCSD, which is an actual academic school, so I took a light load, only 12 units.
But, I'm nervous. Everyone says UCSD is like 20x harder than city college.
Christopher Watson
it is, I go to cal poly which is pretty much the same difficulty as a UC school and being a transfer myself, I can say the students are 50x smarter than community college students. I'm glad I'm being challenged a little bit for once.
Samuel Cox
Most four year schools will be harder than a juco. I was a transfer from Santa Monica College (rejected by Cal/UCLA) and did well as a mechanical engineering student.
The main thing is not falling behind on quarters. The third week will be midterm time and you will struggle to finish the tests in the allotted time.
Brayden Torres
>Third week is midterms
Wew, that's fast as fuck. I took calculus 2 over the summer and we had midterms on the second week, and I did well, so I think I can handle the pace
But that was only one class, dunno how I'll juggle a full load. I had straight As in my Juco and work pretty hard, I should be fine at UCSD, right?

1. Statistical Physics 2.Solid State Physics 3.Introduction to Particle Physics 4.Complex Analysis 5. Project on density operators
Joshua Gutierrez
>Linear Algebra >Quantum Mechanics
Isn't linear algebra a prerequisite for most QM courses?
Hunter Baker
take three classes never fall behind they will test on material not covered in class a ta will grade all tests, not the instructor make friends, as a transfer you may feel like an outsider i did well and so should you your first time at the quarter pace is the most important
Jaxon Carter
nope. just intro to qm (235), calc 3 and differential equations. not user but this is how it works at my university.
Christopher Williams
Only taking 3 classes this year. I will do as you say on the rest. I'll work hard. Thanks senpai, made me feel better.
Alexander Powell
What does that course cover though? surely to do any of the formalism, you at least need to be aware of linear operators and inner product spaces?
Gavin Rogers
they suggest taking it after the physicsmechanics series which is taught by a Dr from MIT who is infamous for his difficulty, the book goes over all of this. heres the link
Got two semesters left, all that's left really are some upper level electives and gen-ed bullshit that I put off. My uni gives me 3 credit hours for my lab work this semester though which is nice.
Jayden Murphy
University Physics 1 Calculus 2 Intro to Mathematical Modeling Latin 101 Folklore (lololol)
I'm an oldie starting uni at a small local liberal arts school. It's strange and backwards doing a Physics/Maths major at a little school like this, but I do not have the money to move away and spend on tuition at a fancy technical school.
Any graduate students here? Am I destroying my chances at career or further schooling by taking this route? Everything I've read and everyone I've talked to and sought advice from seems to think I've played it smart and will have success, but I'm constantly having a feeling like somewhere I have made a crucial mistake.
Next semester will be fun, though. Calculus 3, Diff EQ, Multivariable Calculus and more physics. After that I can finally get into more labs like Optics, E&M, Linear Algebra etc.
Having to go through all these pre-reqs is killer, but save for the mandatory language I knocked out all my gen ed requirements at a Community College.
Bentley Ward
Geo with QM??
Adrian Nelson
>Biology II >Biology II Lab >Forensic Chemistry >Forensic Chemistry Lab >Physics I >Physics I Lab Forensic Science major, taking prerequisites. (Would have taken Bio 2 and Physics 1 much earlier if I had a 4 year plan and knowledge of the courses needed for the degree, neither of which I knew or was told about before coming to university because everyone in high school was retarded.)
Connor Williams
Not at all. I'm surprised chemistry isn't on there
Henry Clark
1. Physics I 2. Calc II 3. Intro to Logic Pretty comfy. I don't feel so stressed out anymore by taking things slowly.
Xavier Sanders
physics 1 (not even joking) orgo 2 lab shit
Alexander Edwards
>Numerical Analysis I >Real Analysis 2 >LA and Matrix Analysis >Mathematical Economics
>mfw conflict with Abstract Algebra so have to wait a year before I can take it
