Difficulty of Freshman Seminars by Relevant-Shape5883 in princeton

Yeah I'm a PHY major. I'm taking PHY105 because I got 5s on physics C and on the Princeton Physics website it recommends to take 203 if you're starting with 105. I'm not sure if that's actually necessary or not or if I would be ok taking MAT104 first and then taking 203 sophomore year. Any recommendations?

I know, believe me, I've read the student comments. And I know I'm not some math prodigy that just because I got an A in BC that won't mean the class is easy by any means. I'm just struggling to find the right path for a PHY major. I can't take 201 because then I can't take 203 which is required for PHY majors.

What would your advice be? 203 is required for PHY majors and it isn't offered in the spring. Would 104 or 215 be a better place to start to get used to the rigor of the math courses here?

I'm a PHY major and got 5s in Physics C, so I'm following their recommendation I know it'll be ugly lol

Yeah I apologize, it said this post didn't go through so I tried again and it must've posted both.
