Pursuit of the Undergraduate Typical Preparation

[jackdixonryan]

The Colorado Physics Graduate Program lists the following experience as the typical undergraduate preparation: Physics

• [ ] 3 Semesters of Introductory Physics
• [ ] 1 Semester of Advanced Classical Mechanics
• [ ] 1 Semester of Quantum Mechanics
• [ ] 1 Semester of Statistical Mechanics
• [ ] 2 Semesters of Advanced Electricity and Magnetism
• [ ] 2 Semesters of Advanced Laboratory Course/Project Work
• [ ] 1 Semester of Advanced modern Physics like Condensed matter, Geophysics, Atomic, Nuclear, or Particle Physics

Math

• [ ] 3 Semesters of Calculus
• [ ] 1 Semester of Linear Algebra
• [ ] 1 Semester of Differential Equations

Computing

• [x] General Knowledge

Obviously, I do not fulfill any of these requirements formally. I do have some experience in physics and mathematics from the last year and a half of self-teaching, but my education is far from rigorous. I have very little confidence in many of these pursuits. So there's probably quite a bit of work to do here.

One possible approach could be to find open courseware on the web that I could complete to constitute a kind of pseudo-proof of, at very least, my dedication (if not my education).
