8.01 Prerequisite Required

We have found that most students who have not completed 8.01 (in any version) are not able to satisfactorily complete 8.02. The Department of Physics therefore mandates that the 8.01 prerequisite (any version) be satisfied for all taking the course. Persons taking the course without the prerequisite will receive no grade on any of the exams nor credit for the course, unless they successfully petition the Physics Department through Prof. Richard Yamamoto.

To get the prerequisite waived for 8.02 (any version), one *must* fill out a petition and Prof. Richard Yamamoto *may* approve the petition if all four of the following criteria are met:

1. the student's 8.01 (any version) grade was *D*, not *F*

2. the student is not on "Dean's Warning"

3. the student would have completed 18.02 (any version) or 18.03 in the Mathematics sequence, before starting on 8.02

4. the petition has the approval of the student's Freshman Advisor
