<p>Okay, I am transferring to UT-Austin this fall as a physics major. I have almost complete all my core classes, so I do not have many easy courses left. My GPA is 3.92/4.0 with 45 hours. My plan is to double major at math while doing physics. However, since I will be taking no less than 15 hours or 5 classes a semester (this is going to be very brutal), I would like to have one that I know how I should start my the second-half of my sophomore year. </p>
<p>As a requirement, I have to take one additional year in the science courses listed above. I will hit the ground running with electromagnetism, linear algebra, differential equations, and Spanish (already speak it). I am very good at math, so I have already completed calc 3 and intro-physics and chem. Which one would be easy? I completely suck at memorization; I prefer learning the logic behind something instead. I also suck at English - I cannot begin to describe how I hate writing anything but computer code = ).</p>
<p>Would these classes be intro level? Because if so, they’ll all require a lot of memorization. Choose based on the subject matter that interests you the most. </p>
<p>If you want to do science, you should also be careful about dismissing English. Some of the most successful scientists I’ve met are those who are best at conveying their ideas.</p>
<p>If they’re all intro level classes, I’d say the difficulty level would be fairly similar for all three. Either way though, they will still be intro level classes. There will be a lot of memorization involved.</p>
<p>Astronomy would probably be the most relevant for your major. Although a first intro to Astronomy course usually entails basically no mathematics at all, and is more just memorization of terms and different astronomical phenomena. </p>
<p>Are you sure you don’t have to have a biology course for your degree? Many schools require both a physical science and a life science, so it would be worth checking on that.</p>
