Honors Calculus?

<p>Hello</p>

<p>I have AP credit for Calculus I and II and am deciding on whether I should take Honors Calculus II, Honors Calculus III, or Calculus II for AP students.</p>

<p>I feel like I have a solid grasp on the material and can do all of the delta-epsilon proof problems in my textbook's appendix. In addition, I consider myself to be a solid math student, evidenced by some of the regional math competitions I've placed in.</p>

<p>I'm also contemplating whether I should take another honors course. I've emailed Professor Furic and am attempting to get placed into PHY 2060 and am also planning on registering for CHM 2047. These three honors classes in their entirety will give me a full course load of 14 credit hours.</p>

<p>I want to take quantum mechanics and advanced level math as quickly as possible so I can gain eligibility for spots in a quantum theory project group. </p>

<p>And by the way, I'm not actually in the honors program, but I was invited to attend and I exceed all of their entrance requirements by quite a bit, I was turned down because I submitted my application 2 weeks late. Can I still take all of these classes if I'm not actually enrolled in the honors program?</p>

<p>Usually if you are not in the honors program, you have to wait till the week of drop/add to pick up these classes. You can email the honors advisor and ask. Emailing the professor probably wont help because they don’t deal with registration. Getting into 3 honors classes might be hard because you have zero priority for them, but still have a chance. </p>

<p>I would recommend calc 2(for ap) or calc 3. Supposedly the reason that they have calc 2 for ap students is that they skip some stuff in the curriculum for ap calc 2. Up to you, I heard calc 3 is easy; calc 2 is considered the harder class. </p>

<p>You can probably start in fall. Groups are always looking for ugrads for free labor to help the grad students and PI.</p>

<p>That’s quite strange ASMAJ as when Professor Ivan Furic emailed me personally it sounded as if I could get priority in PHY 2060 registration without even being in the honors college. I had no idea that honors class registration was only available during the drop/add period for non-honors students…</p>

<p>Also, your statement about positions in the quantum theory group is a bit wrong. Upon emailing several faculty members working in the project and in theoretical chemistry in general, in order to get ANY position in their group you must have a strong basis in Linear Algebra, Quantum Mechanics, and Partial differential equations. At least, these were the requirements for the 3 professors in the group I did contact.</p>

<p>I guess math/physics groups can be a little different than bench, clinical, and translational research groups. I still dont see why they would want free help. You might not start on a actually project yet put you can help with finding background research or something and get use to topics you will be dealing with it. Anyways, I guess you have to wait, if thats what they stated. </p>

<p>Is 2060 a honors course? I dont know. If not, I guess its not a problem.</p>
