Notes

a. Physics 5 and 7 are both introductory courses on classical mechanics. Physics 7 is a faster-paced, more extensive alternative to Physics 5 for those who have completed a year each of physics (whether an AP course or not) and calculus. It will cover the material of Physics 5 rapidly and proceed in each subject area to more sophisticated applications and more challenging problems.

b. Students with AP calculus AB usually start with Math 19 (Advanced Placement Calculus for Physics and Engineering Students). Students with AP calculus BC should take Math 20 or 35.

c. Students who have taken Physics 5 and are considering a concentration in Physics are advised to consider taking Physics 16 rather than 6, though the latter course is acceptable for the concentration.

d. Students who have taken Math 19 in the fall should continue with Math 20. Those who have taken Math 20 or 35 should take 52 (Linear Algebra) or 54 (Honors Linear Algebra).

e. Students who have taken Math 52 or 54 in their freshman year can continue on with Math 111 followed by 112, or the Applied Math sequences, 33-34 or 35-36. Students who completed Math 19 and 20 in their freshman year should take Math 52 or 54, followed by Math 112 or Applied Math 33. g. Four math courses are required beyond Math 19. Further information about math courses for Physics concentrators can be found here.

h. One additional science course chosen from Physics 25, 217, 241 or upper level courses in related fields of science chosen in consultation with the Physics concentration advisor. The elective course need not be taken during the senior year.

i. Some students register for Physics 198 (Senior Thesis) in the fall of their senior year if they begin their thesis work at that time. If the thesis work requires a full year's work, then with the agreement of the student's thesis advisor, the student can register for Physics 199 (Special Topics) in the spring semester.
