PWR1 Courses in the Fall 2006

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Is the list of PWR1 courses offered in the fall term available on the website yet?
I looked at pwr.stanford.edu, and it seemed the list is already up, but the only problem is that at the top of that page it says "Spring 2006". I'm quite confused.</p>

<p>you're right, it does say spring 2006 at the top. however, this is just a mistake b/c i know of a pwr class that was available last spring, but it's not available on the new page. so it's just a typo, don't worry. </p>

<p>also, i had checked a week ago to see if pwr 1 and pwr2 courses were up and they weren't, but they are now, therefore they are for fall 06.</p>

<p>what is the difference between the 50 series and the 50H series. How much more work/time does 50H require?</p>

<p>Don't take the Honors sequence unless you really enjoy math (to the point that you're considering a math major). It is much more theoretical and a ton more work than the regular sequence.</p>

<p>You get the same credits in the end and really I like math and all but going into the theoretical part voluntarily? No thank you. I'm gonna stick with good old fashioned 51,52,53</p>

<p>i do really enjoy math and i am thinking about a major in it, so i guess that's right for me. does anyone know how much extra work it is?</p>

<p>a lot. that is all i know. a lot.</p>

<p>Where is Sly Si when you need him? I think for those who take the honors series they don't actually put in <em>that</em> many more hours than those in the regular series. They just have much much harder material that is all proofs and at the end of the year might struggle to do some basic calculation like actually taking the surface integral. The students are also insanely brilliant so it is a lot harder to be at the top of the class and get As in the honors series than the regular series. You can be a math major and take the regular 50 series too. I would advise shopping both classes for the first couple of weeks and seeing which is right for you.</p>

<p>sorry Raphael-Bon for hijacking your thread, I thought I posted this in the math thread!</p>

<p>Haha. Never mind and thanks for your courtesy. Admittedly, I was quite confused how the topic changed so swiftly !</p>

<p>haha...me too.</p>
