engineering scheduling help

<p>figured it be time for me to post this eventually.</p>

<p>i just found that i have ap credit for phys 1112, so i want to go to take phys 2213 (since its relevant to my major). however, phys 2213 lists 1112 as a prereq, as well as math 1920.</p>

<p>i dont have math 1920 credit, but i will be taking it fall semester. would i still be able to take phys 2213 with 1920 as a coreq instead of a prereq?</p>

<p>would they check to see if i have the prereqs? and if not, would there be much stuff from 1920 that would be required to understand the stuff in 2213?</p>

<p>I understand that they taught AP Physics C: E&M at my school without having people having taken multivariable calculus, so unless 2213 and 1920 are much harder than those, i should be fine right?</p>

<p>bump, i need help before scheduling opens</p>

<p>I think that you need to take 192 first - you can always take 213 in the spring. I would email engineering advising and/or the course professor asap to figure it out.</p>

<p>yeah, advising told me to take 192 first too. i was just wondering if anyone had experience doing this before, or has taken 2213.</p>

<p>i guess i might end up taking chinese then, since i really dont know what i should take (my ap credits exempt me out of most of my intro classes)</p>

<p>Anything in 1920 that you would need for 2213 you can self-study on your own.</p>

<p>Take 1920 and 2213 at the same time. If it were 1910 and 2213 I’d say no, but 1920 is really not that much different than 1910.</p>

<p>what kind of stuff would i need to self study, and does it involve a lot of stuff from 1920? i’m not really a self study kind of person, but if its not that important, i guess i could do it</p>

<p>The main mathematical concepts from MATH192 that show up PHYS213 are surface and line integrals. However, being an introductory class, the course does not really involve difficult path or surface integration. For example, in MATH192 you’ll learn to integrate over different kinds of surfaces, but in PHYS213 the most you’ll have to do is integrate over spheres or circular paths (very easy). I know quite a few people who took MATH 192 and PHYS213 concurrently, and they didn’t really have any problems as far as I can remember.</p>

<p>Actually, to add on to my post, I found that all of the crap I learned in MATH192 all of the sudden made much more sense when I took PHYS213. I think I better understood the concepts after seeing things being applied to physical systems.</p>

<p>thats good, i think i might be doing them two concurrently then, even though advising told me not to.</p>

<p>I agree w/Tchaikovsky, I took E&M and multivariable together in high school, and they both complemented each other really well.</p>

<p>However after long consideration, I’m going to do 2213 & 1920 as well, and not take credit for them. Probably would be a better transition to college…</p>

<p>you can take 2213 and 1920 at the same time no problem, a few concepts from 1920 show up but you don’t need to know them. When doing the line and surface integrals in Gauss or Amperes law the whole point is that you choose a line or surface where the field is uniform so you basically just multiply. took them separately but my friend took them at the same time and had no problems.</p>

<p>Just know that 2213 is mostly sophomores first semester and probably mostly freshman second semester, not actually sure on that one but it seemed like most of the people taking it with me were also freshman.</p>

<p>i saw on the courses of study that it says: “Coregistration with MATH 1920 may be allowed by instructor in exceptional cases.”</p>

<p>Do I need to get instructor permission first?</p>

<p>No. No one checks or asks.</p>

<p>ok, thats good.</p>
