Hey guys, anyone taken physics 2213 at Cornell before? I’m considering taking the CASE in August so I was looking for study resources/homeworks/etc. I wanted to join the blackboard site but I couldn’t figure out how since it didn’t seem like it was showing up on the course search. Even just the textbook chapters that are covered would be super helpful. Thanks!
Have you ever had a course at the college level (AP Physics C E&M or college E&M) in Electricity and Magnetism? What is your planned major at Cornell? Why do you want to take the CASE?
The reason I asked the questions in my reply is that if you are in engineering and you have not had calculus-based Electricity and Magnetism, you would be much better served to take the class at Cornell instead of trying to take the CASE and hoping to place out.
Having said that, if you are hell-bent on taking the Phys 2213 CASE, you can look at the 2015 syllabus at:
The textbook as noted in the syllabus is University Physics by Young and Freedman 12, 13, or 14th editions. If you want lectures to help learn the material, I highly suggest googling “MIT 8.02 Lewin” and watching Walter Lewin’s lectures along with the readings (need to match topics to videos).
Hi Billchu, thanks for that link! I took AP Physics 1 which touched on some of the things about charges, circuits, and waves. I wanted to take the CASE because I took 1112 last semester and really hated how the labs, discussions, etc were set up. I thought worst case if I didn’t pass the exam then I would just take the class and have a head start on the material.
Oh, so you are a current Cornell student?
@billchu2, great links/ lecture suggestion
@EchoTheCat I have tutored students in AP Physics 1 and while some of the concepts are introduced in that course, they are VERY introductory. The material in Phys 2213 is taught with an assumption that you have taken, or are taking multivariable calculus (Math 1920 or equivalent). It will be assumed that you are comfortable with gradients, curl, and divergence, and the vector integral laws (Stokes, Gauss/Divergence, etc.).
What specifically did you not find appealing about Phys 1112? Did you have a flipped classroom?
