<p>I plan to joint enroll at GT next year (08-09). I am trying to figure out what courses to take, and am being limited by two main things: the amount of math I will have taken, and the requirement that I not take anything at GT I could take at my high school.</p>
<p>I will have taken Stat,Chem, Mech, Emag, Calc BC, CS A. I will be taking Calc 2, CS AB, and possibly Bio. (All of those, AP). So my course options are being limited by having only taken Calc BC. My interests lie in chem/physics/astronomy/stat mainly. I have room in my JE schedule to take 8 credit hours for each of two semesters. If I can just take two physics courses and two chem courses, I'd be real happy, but I don't know if I have the calculus to do that. Suggestions?</p>
<p>Assuming you did well in the class and on the exam, Calc BC is quite sufficient for Chemistry and Physics I.</p>
<p>Physics II uses some multivariable calculus, but if you're willing to randomly teach yourself as the course progresses, you should find it manageable.</p>
<p>First of all, let me remind you that Calculus II and physics II are the weed out classes. Some people who got accepted to Georgia tech as freshmen go to other college and transfer credit for these courses and you are gonna take it as joint enrollment? I did calculus II joint enrollment near where I lived and got credit for it. although I had to take linear algebra to get full Calculus II credit. I hope getting bad grade here with joint enrollment won't jeopardize your chance of getting into better college.</p>
<p>Physics 2 is the course (equivalently) after AP Physics C E&M, right?
And Calculus 2 is the course equivalent to multivariable?
What prereqs are there for chem courses? What is the equivalent to AP chem?</p>
<p>As to the risk of doing poorly and jeopardizing my college aps:
I figure that that is possible. But - the chance that i'll get hurt times the amount it'd hurt me is less than the amount doing well could help times the chance it'd help, in my estimation. And beyond any of that, to do nothing at all is not so much better than doing poorly. JE'ing guarantees me enrollment to GT, and with a college ranked 35 as a <sarcasm> worst case scenario </sarcasm>, I think it's quite worth the risk.</p>
<p>Calculus II is still single variable. BC material - AB material = Cal II. I add that Georgia Tech's Cal II includes a substantial amount of Linear Algebra.</p>
<p>Calculus III is multi-variable.</p>
<p>CHEM 1310 is the equivalent of AP Chem. There are no prerequisites. It's a core class that can be taken by anyone in his first semester.</p>
<p>I warn you that all of the classes you have listed - Physics II, Calculus II, and Chem I - are known at Tech to be the killer courses. But, if you work for it, there's no reason why you can't get the grade you want.</p>
<p>So what can you tell me about physics 3 or chem 2? Also, physics 4 and chem 3?
I 'spose I'll have taken calc 1, physics 1, physics 2, chem 1 in HS, and be taking calc 2.</p>
<p>Physics III and Physics IV don't exist. There are physics classes after Physics II, obviously, it's just that they aren't titled III and IV.</p>
<p>I guess you might be talking about stuff like Modern Physics. I can't answer those questions because I have never taken them and do not plan to.</p>
<p>GT only has Chem I. There's no "direct" follow-up to that class. Again, I guess you might be talking about Inorganic Chemistry when you refer to Chem II, in which case I also can't answer the question because I have not taken the class and do not plan to.</p>
<p>It's not a bad idea to "only" take Cal II. It is a difficult class, particularly if you have one of The Four. I only know of Geronimo and Belinfante as the professors you should avoid. I don't know the other two.</p>
<p>There definitely are options in Chemistry and Physics that can keep you engaged for sixteen hours, which I assume is two semesters since GT has a max of 8 hours per joint-enrolled semester.</p>
<p>Just play around with oscar.gatech.edu and see what interests you and what you are able to take pre-req wise.</p>
