please give me some stories about the three calclulus based physics courses (mechanics, modern, and electricity/magnetism) and which one is the hardest for you personally. Thanks
It depends
You need to talk to people at your school
I think mechanics is easiest, electricity and magnetism is hardest and modern is in between.
Mechanics is easiest because most of it is very intuitive and easily seen in everyday life
Electricity and magnetism is difficult because you don’t experience it in every day life. You’re also dealing with scales that you are not used to (usually small ones). The real difficulty with electiricity and magnetism is really the amount of information though.
Modern physics at my school is even more abstract than E&M but it is saved by the fact that it doesn’t cover nearly as much material (13 vs 18 chapters worth of material)
