<p>Out of curiosity, how good at physics do you think you are?
If you take PHYS 2218 in the fall as a first-year, you will probably be the only freshman in the class. I think only 3-4 people have done it in the last 4 years. Only a few of the best even try this, especially considering PHYS 1116 is a very worthwhile course.</p>
<p>If you do end up going through with it, it might help that waves is the easiest of the 3 classes in the honors intro physics sequence, but that’s not saying much.</p>
<p>Hi guys, I’m pretty much in the same predicament as Ishida52134 when it comes to choosing between PHYS 2217 and PHYS 2218. I am intending to major in AEP and I think I have a pretty solid understanding of EM, but it seems that AEP recommends taking PHYS 2217 instead of placing out of 2213 and going straight to PHYS 2218. </p>
<p>So, does anyone have any idea on the syllabus of PHYS 2217? More specifically, are there any course websites for PHYS 2217 that I can use to see if I should skip/take it?</p>

<p>For PHYS 2217, I think we had a blackboard site that I no longer have access to.
However, MIT offers a very similar course that covers virtually the same material using the same two textbooks (Purcell + Griffiths).
You can find the course notes to that class here: [Electricity</a> & Magnetism](<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/sahughes/www/8.022/]Electricity”>Electricity & Magnetism)</p>
<p>Now I <em>really</em> understand what people mean when they say CC is a “love it or hate it” type of thing. This thread and the FB page are like polar opposites.
