physics 7a vs physics 2

[t1lui]

<p>Whats the difference? I'm gonna go in as general engineer</p>

<p>[Physics</a> Exam](<a href=“http://www.testingcenter.uci.edu/physics.html]Physics”>http://www.testingcenter.uci.edu/physics.html)</p>

<p>If you score less than 75% on the Physics 7C placement test you will eligible for one of the following courses:</p>

<p>

Physics 2 (for all students in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering). Successful completion of Physics 2 will allow students to take Physics 7C in winter quarter and Physics 7D in spring quarter.

</p>

<p>

Physics 7A (for all students in the School of Physical Sciences). Successful completion of Physics 7A will allow students to take Physics 7B in winter quarter and Physics 7D in spring quarter.

</p>

<p>you need to be in math 2a for both phys 2 or 7a and math 2b for phys 7c or 7b.</p>

<p>Physics 2 will focus on math used in physics and not the actual physics:</p>

<p>from the catalog about physics 2:

Provides the applied mathematics and problem solving/presentation skills necessary for success in an introductory physics sequence. Focuses on practical exercises in problem solving.

</p>

<p>physics 7a will cover actual physics.
i would figure physics 7a or 2 would be ridiculously easy for any real engineer. physics 7c and 7b are very similar, but cover slightly different subjects. see the catalog.</p>
