University of California Transfer Students Fall 2007 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!

<p>So you are saying I have the ability to both destroy and save your town. What a prediciment!!! double =P</p>

<p>I’m currently taking both 3rd semester engineering physics (light & heat) and 4th semester engineering physics (quantum mechanics) this semester. The calculus-based physics sequence may be the most brutal single subject in all of academia at the first 2 years of undergraduate level. Quantum mechanics is just as difficult as the Organic Chem series, according to my Berkeley BioMedical Engineer friend who’ve had to go thru both series. I remember back in the day when I thought calculus was hard, LoL, and then when I hit the engineering physics series, I soon realized that calculus was really a joke compared to physics.</p>

<p>to me, english must be as hard as engineering lol</p>

<p>Do you even need calculus in a calculus-based physics course??? I took the 1st semester engineering physics last year, and it was wayyyyyyyyyyy esay. All we needed to know were derivatives.</p>

<p>nate cali does your phys teacher’s last name start with v?</p>

<p>the physics class are hard but there are manageable if you get use to it</p>

<p>I don’t doubt or mean to minimize the level of rigor required in those classes (I personaly enjoy calc and took the series for fun…), but does taking those classes automatically entitle you to believe that you are smarter than any, say, English major?</p>

<p>And that’s exactly what I’m saying Niggit =ppppppp</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Hey hey, Laguna, you have no place to talk here. At least not until you bring up that Japanese 3 grade of yours.</p>

<p>who the hell said orchem is as hard as quantum mechanics?
that was funny :O</p>

<p>lilflower you need the calculus base physics sequence for engineers which is the general mechanics course, the electric and magnetism and light and heat</p>

<p>yeah, whoever said phys 1 is easy you are right because its just kinematics and such, get to phys 2 with the electric fields and magnetic fields and the oscillations of which create light and then you will know whats up. </p>

<p>and yeah ochem is not that hard, I am not even going to take quantum mechanics.</p>

<p>yeah i’m taking the elect and magnetic right now, it is crazy stuff</p>

<p>Nope, my 3rd sem physics teacher last name starts with a B, and 4th sem physics teacher last name starts with a P. To me, of the 4 semesters of physics, from hardest to lightest:</p>

<p>4th sem physics (quantum mechanics, atomic physics, relativity)
2nd sem physics (electricity-magnitism)
3rd sem physics (light-heat)
1st sem physics (newtonian mechanics)</p>

<p>Yup, only the basics of calculus is used, just a little knowlege of differentiation and integration is all you really need. It does not get that heavy in the math. Luckily my cc offers 4th sem physics, since some cc’s only offer up to the 3rd class. Else, I would have to take this at the UC, and I would get killed up there and getting my gpa destroyed. Physics is not really my cup of tea, I’m more of a computer guy.</p>

<p>

depends on where you take it <a href=“http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~phyh7b/assignments/Prob06/Sol06.html[/url]”>http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~phyh7b/assignments/Prob06/Sol06.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

</p>

<p>Is that an Honors E-M physics class at UCB? Physics H7B, is the H for honors?</p>

<p>yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr</p>

<p>yarp. speaking of which, whats happenin.</p>

<p>You can say all you want but NOTHING is as hard as Calculus 3…now you go figure!!</p>

<p>I got into USRA…I can see FA info!! wooo</p>

<p>this may be the new berkeley housing app</p>
