Hi, was just wondering if prerequisites are strictly enforced at Brown? Can you just sign up for a course? How hard is it getting instructor permission to do so? What is it like signing up for graduate classes?

I'm prospective physics/mathematics major who has done quite a bit of self-studying (at the level of (around half of) Taylor's Classical Mechanics, Purcell's EM, French Vibration and Waves, and currently Munkres' Topology + V.I Arnolds Mechanics) and who has also completed the lower div math formally (linalg, ODEs, multi/vector calc, PDEs, proofs). I'm not talking about skipping any course, just taking more advanced ones alongside them.
