Physics at Yale

<p>How are the Physics courses at Yale?</p>

<p>yeah! i second this (bump, in other words)</p>

<p>I'd also like to know this. I can only say that when I visited for bulldog days, I did sit in on a physics class. It was advanced general physics, I think. The topic was special relativity. I've had honors physics and some AP physics in HS and I found that it went at the perfect pace for me to follow. The professor also tried to make the class interesting. I'd like to know more about physics @ yale though.</p>

<p>I don't know anything about upper-level phys courses, sadly (I'm a chem major), but my experience with the intro physics courses has been really good... I hope someone can give you guys good info on this. I'd be interested to know what they have to say :-P</p>

<p>And if no-one else answers, I suppose I can go ask a friend of mine who's majoring in physics, but he's still a freshman too, so he hasn't yet gotten any farther up in the physics department than I have...</p>

<p>bump please</p>

<p>yeah i would love to know as well. i plan to major either in math or physics.</p>

<p>Yale has 5 intro to physics courses, so you can pick the pace that suits you best. If you want to be a physics major, you can choose from the upper 3. The second to most advanced intro course (meant for those who have taken calculus based physics I believe) is taught by the chairman, and it is a very good course.</p>

<p>physics 200 rocks because the physics department chair teaches it.</p>

<p>Is the combo Physics 260 Math230 still available? I might have the numbers swapped, but for physics/math enthusiasts, its unbelievable. Maybe someone has a bluebook link?</p>

<p>Those links are for the list of Physics and Math courses respectively (this is this year's bluebook, not next year's.)</p>
