I need to choose one more math class to reach a full-time status for next fall. So far I am already taking Classical Mech I from Physics Dept, Analysis I and PDE from Math Dept. I hear Analysis is already time-consuming hard class and I guess PDE isn't easy either, so I am considering to...

School writing center is closed during the break, so I need a help from PF. I have to submit my application ASAP, so my references can get the email with instructions to submit their letters. This is for Mathematics REU for small college. I am physics and math double major and I have not...

Hey Warren, I am wondering if you have gotten your tattoo. If not and still searching for an idea, here is a helpful link. You can get some ideas from these tattoos. http://talklikeaphysicist.com/category/tuesday-physics-tattoos/

I agree and I love you said it, but the word "stupid" people is a little inappropriate. They are just shallow humans, who don't examine things they do very much.

It is a lot, but I want to learn more math. Since I don't have any humanities courses to take, I want to improve myself on math ground. I changed my major into physics, because chem does not use much of math and I was not happy with that. And I noticed I did not get perspective on topology course.

Thank you. So my plan looks like I will finish Calc 3, linear algebra, ordinary and partial diff.eq's. Those shouldn't be that much. Plus, I plan to take Analysis 1, Statistics, and Complex Variables. What is topology? Is it a fun class to take? Is it useful down the road in physics...

I heard it from some TA's in chem department doing phys.chem research. They don't really know the details of organics and don't even care. Because of this fact and considering not many of chem undergrad courses concern the true fundamental causes for chemical processes, I am really considering...

I noticed this thread is from two years ago and wondering how things are going for you, ZeGerman. I am non-traditional student, now 22. I am just starting college finally, after being working for over three years since I moved to U.S to start new life. Anyhow, I started in biology and...

Is it really? I am kind of an outsider to chem department, because I just switched to chem from biology. So all my chem experience was from chem courses for non-majors, so I don't know what chem students in general think. To me, o.chem is really pointless. I guess it is just not my interest...

Well. I am serious about my study though. I have been working before I got in the university. I am in my 20s and only finishing my first year in college. Believe me, I really want to be in college and do science. I know how it is to be out there, uneducated labor-force-not desirable, but still...

-Thanks for the first answer. I just took my third midterm and I don't think I did half of it right. I should be lucky if I pass this course with minimum required grade not to repeat it. What I mean by memorization is the abbreviated names and nomenclatures-different reagents, their name and...

I am chem major currently taking organic chemistry. I am ashamed of admitting I hate organic chemistry. This is not even science. It seems to me though, it is a branch of engineering. You have stuff, you make new stuff. You increase your yield and figure out steps to synthesize something. I...

I am a chem major in college and taking my first calc 1 course this semester-I am little late from my peers in learning math, I was bio major and did not have to take math that seriously before. So far I really like calculus and I don't have any trouble whatsoever in it. I am considering to take...

Thank you, all of you for the excellent advices and care to respond to my pity complaints. It was wrong of me to choose too many science creds in one semester any way. I thought carefully about what is happening and concluded I don't like working too much. This is the problem. I just hate...

I am undergrad chem major. I have a serious problem. This semester I am taking O.Chem, Gen. Physics 1, Genetics, and Calculus-total 20 cred of science courses. I love science (it's been my whole life's interest) and usually pretty enthusiastic about doing calculations, learning things, and...
