    Is organic chemistry employed in fab'ing graphene ICs?

    Hello, I am interested in possibly fabricating microprocessors if I make it through school. I have yet to take my first course in organic chemistry. Will I have to know anything about organic chemistry if I am to fabricate microprocessors? Do you know if organic chemistry is employed in the...

    How do you specify your intererests in physics when you're a freshman

    Just an update Hi all, Just wanted to update this thread with information that I feel could help readers of this thread who are trying to answer questions about which major they should choose. I started with the following two dictionary definitions: Engineering - The branch of science...

    How do you specify your intererests in physics when you're a freshman

    Thanks. I'll be sure to mention your knowledgeable advice when I write my scholarship essays. Mentioning what you have explained to me here in an essay can go a long way to illustrate where I am at now, an ambition so strong that I am talking to others about it in attempts to come to terms with...

    How do you specify your intererests in physics when you're a freshman

    Thanks. Believe it or not I really was confused with the details and thank you for helping me put things into perspective. You see, I have not even had my first physics course period. I have no frame of reference to grasp the career choices of others. Realizing which of my ideas were important...

    How do you specify your intererests in physics when you're a freshman

    Hello, I'm interested in research and development of either fusion power generation or graphene based nanoelectronics. One of the things I like about these areas is that they are in the imminent stages of development and I will probably see them developed in my lifetime. My issue is that...

    First Chapter of Text: distance formula with unknowns (13x,-23x) (6x,x) x>0

    It appears as though there are people here with more important precalculus homework problems and I should take my question to a remidial algebra forum somewhere else on the internet. Mark44 and Ray Vickson, instead of telling me to 'just work the problem' why don't you 'just' tell me my question...

    First Chapter of Text: distance formula with unknowns (13x,-23x) (6x,x) x>0

    Hello, The reason I don't want to work the problem is because not much is mentioned about the problem in my text because it is precalculus and not remedial algebra. When I 'google' something I'm trying to find articles or explinations containing details such as: P(13x, -23x), Q(6x,x)...
