What textbooks Cornell uses for Physics III?

Would I need to take chem since I’m in ENG, even though I plan to transfer to a&s in the spring? If not, I’d need to study for the placement test too. I have to take either a general engineering or cs course though?
Would I have trouble getting basics qm in the fall? And if I don’t get honors analysis, I wouldn’t have as much trouble if I choose the non-honors version, or just take some other upper-level math course like number theory or manifolds and differential forms?

And yeah, I plan to just review mech and EM because the honors version of the class covers special relativity and also ac circuits which are in the latter half of the book that wasn’t covered in the ap class. So I’ll just learn that as well, it shouldn’t take too long. And I planned on learning how to formally do proofs, because advanced math classes like analysis are proof-based and a lot different from high school math classes or lower-level college math. I also plan on starting to practice for the Putnam, do they also have practice sessions for it at Cornell?

I thought that with my schedule, I wouldn’t have as much free time in college. It’ll probably be better to just do research with my free time instead of self-studying right?
