How good does your calculus need to be to fully understand it?

No vector calculus, none of that?

I don't know much, but higher electricity and magnetism concepts involve higher forms of calculus right?

>>8441717
Upto Vector Calculus

Waiiit a minute, is this General Physics 2 or an upper level E&M course?
Because its basic integrals for the former, and some vecter calculus for the latter?

Purcell is essentially the lower-tier version of Griffith's EM. When I say this, I mean that it is harder than an intro textbook's description (i.e. Halliday or Young/Freedman) but include's less material and work than Griffiths.

Basically, if you intend to be serious about studying EM, take this progression:
1) Intro EM (Young&Freedman or whatever) + practice your calculus
2) Purcell once your calculus is good.
3) Griffiths once you finished going over a section in Purcell. Some may tell you to opt for Griffiths only but there is nothing wrong with using both at the same time. Griffiths, however, covers more topics and is slightly harder.
3) Jackson. Tread lightly.

Oh Idk bout that den boi.
Nigga you fucked if you thinkin honors is worht it

If it's honors it's probably the basic calc course i.e. simple integrals

If you're in honors for the street cred, rethink your academic goals and personal ambitions.
If you're in honors because you are bright and intelligent, you don't need to ask the question above and will be fine.
