<p>I would like to take physics C next year (senior) but just questions i have
I have never taken any physics class so im kinda scared that will be a big problem
However i am currently in calculus AB and im doing phenomenal,
I get all the material so far (except related rates) and i passed last semester with a 93% and im passing this semester with a 91% right now, and i get everything
SOOO my question, do you think i can take Physics C and not be tooo much in the dark.</p>
<p>Physics C is pretty doable if you have a good calculus background…I only took C-Mechanics, which only assumes up to Calculus AB knowledge (if I remember correctly?) and got a 5. A few other ppl in the class also got 5’s, despite never having taken a physics course in HS.</p>
<p>For C-Electricity/magnetism, I’m pretty sure you’ll have to learn about gradients, surface integrals, flux, and some other multi-variate topics (however many of them are just generalizations of what you’ve learned in AB). I never took Physics C - E/M, but I’m taking the equivalent course right now at MIT.</p>
